Intelligent multimedia involves the computer processing and understanding of perceptual input from speech, text, videos and images. Reacting to these inputs is complex and involves research from engineering, computer science and cognitive science. Intelligent multimedia processing deals with the analysis of images and videos to extract useful information for numerous applications including medical imaging, robotics, remote sensing, autonomous driving, AR/VR, law enforcement, biometrics, multimedia enhancement and reconstruction, agriculture, and security. Intelligent multimedia processing and computer vision have seen an upsurge over the last few years. With the increasing use of intelligent multimedia processing techniques in various sectors, the requirement for fast and reliable techniques to analyse and process multimedia content is increasing day by day. Intelligent Multimedia Processing and Computer Vision: Techniques and applications reviews cutting edge research in the areas of intelligent multimedia processing and computer vision techniques and applications with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches and novel solutions. The book is aimed at practicing engineers, scientists, technology professionals, researchers and advanced students in the fields of multimedia processing and security, image processing, computer vision, biometrics, intelligent and smart technologies, machine learning and deep learning, and autonomous systems.

Digital Image Enhancement and Reconstruction: Techniques and Applications explores different concepts and techniques used for the enhancement as well as reconstruction of low-quality images. Most real-life applications require good quality images to gain maximum performance, however, the quality of the images captured in real-world scenarios is often very unsatisfactory. Most commonly, images are noisy, blurry, hazy, tiny, and hence need to pass through image enhancement and/or reconstruction algorithms before they can be processed by image analysis applications. This book comprehensively explores application-specific enhancement and reconstruction techniques including satellite image enhancement, face hallucination, low-resolution face recognition, medical image enhancement and reconstruction, reconstruction of underwater images, text image enhancement, biometrics, etc. Chapters will present a detailed discussion of the challenges faced in handling each particular kind of image, analysis of the best available solutions, and an exploration of applications and future directions. The book provides readers with a deep dive into denoising, dehazing, super-resolution, and use of soft computing across a range of engineering applications.

The book bridges the gap between cybersecurity education and new data science programs, discussing how cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques can work for and against cybersecurity efforts. Offers a thorough introduction to computer security, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, including basic definitions and concepts like threats, vulnerabilities, risks, attacks, protection, and tools. Covers all kind of intrusion detection techniques and details of various intrusion detection algorithms and architecture.
