Artificial Intelligence Research and Development
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has started the evolution in computer science. It is in good health, as many companies qualify their novelties as ‘smart’ or ‘intelligent’. The term ‘society of knowledge’ draws society nearer to the future and is a symbol of breakthrough. From this perspective, AI has reached maturity and has exploded into an endless set of sub-areas, getting in touch with all other disciplines, such as situation assessment, analysis and interpretation of music, management of environmental and biological systems, planning trains, routing of communication networks, assisting medical diagnosis or powering auctions. The wide variety of Artificial Intelligence applicatio...
Biometrics
Biometric technologies, such as finger- or facial-scan, are being deployed across a variety of social contexts in order to facilitate and guarantee identity verification and authentication. In the post-9/11 world, biometric technologies have experienced an extraordinary period of growth as concerns about security and screening have increased. This book analyses biometric systems in terms of the application of biopolitical power – corporate, military and governmental – on the human body. It deploys cultural theory in examining the manner in which biometric technologies constitute the body as a target of surveillance and as a data-information object. The book thereby provides a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of both the local and global ramifications of biometric technologies.
Software Engineering
The capability to design quality software and implement modern information systems is at the core of economic growth in the 21st century. This book aims to review and analyze software engineering technologies, focusing on the evolution of design and implementation platforms as well as on novel computer systems.
Guide to e-Science
This guidebook on e-science presents real-world examples of practices and applications, demonstrating how a range of computational technologies and tools can be employed to build essential infrastructures supporting next-generation scientific research. Each chapter provides introductory material on core concepts and principles, as well as descriptions and discussions of relevant e-science methodologies, architectures, tools, systems, services and frameworks. Features: includes contributions from an international selection of preeminent e-science experts and practitioners; discusses use of mainstream grid computing and peer-to-peer grid technology for “open” research and resource sharing in scientific research; presents varied methods for data management in data-intensive research; investigates issues of e-infrastructure interoperability, security, trust and privacy for collaborative research; examines workflow technology for the automation of scientific processes; describes applications of e-science.
Computer Vision and Image Processing
This three-volume set (CCIS 1367-1368) constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computer Vision and Image Processing, CVIP 2020, held in Prayagraj, India, in December 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference was partially held online. The 134 papers papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 352 submissions. The papers present recent research on such topics as biometrics, forensics, content protection, image enhancement/super-resolution/restoration, motion and tracking, image or video retrieval, image, image/video processing for autonomous vehicles, video scene understanding, human-computer interaction, document image analysis, face, iris, emotion, sign language and gesture recognition, 3D image/video processing, action and event detection/recognition, medical image and video analysis, vision-based human GAIT analysis, remote sensing, and more.
Emerging Research on Swarm Intelligence and Algorithm Optimization
Throughout time, scientists have looked to nature in order to understand and model solutions for complex real-world problems. In particular, the study of self-organizing entities, such as social insect populations, presents a new opportunity within the field of artificial intelligence. Emerging Research on Swarm Intelligence and Algorithm Optimization discusses current research analyzing how the collective behavior of decentralized systems in the natural world can be applied to intelligent system design. Discussing the application of swarm principles, optimization techniques, and key algorithms being used in the field, this publication serves as an essential reference for academicians, upper-level students, IT developers, and IT theorists.
Biometric Authentication
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Biometric Authentication, ICBA 2004, held in Hong Kong, China in July 2004. The 104 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 157 submissions; also included are summaries of 3 biometric competitions on fingerprint verification, face authentication, and signature verification. The papers are organized in topical sections on face, fingerprint, iris, signature, speech, biometric fusion and risk analysis, and other biometric issues.
Guide to Biometric Reference Systems and Performance Evaluation
Biometrics has moved from using fingerprints to using many methods of assessing human physical and behavioral traits. This guide introduces a new performance evaluation framework designed to offer full coverage of performance evaluation of biometric systems.
Advances in Machine Vision, Image Processing, and Pattern Analysis
This book collects the proceedings of the International Workshop on Intelligent Computing in Pattern Analysis/Synthesis, IWICPAS 2006, held in Xi'an, China alongside the 18th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, ICPR 2006. The book presents 51 revised full papers and 128 revised poster papers, organized in topical sections on object detection, tracking and recognition, pattern representation and modeling, visual pattern modeling, image processing, compression and coding and texture analysis/synthesis.
