The approaches to computer vision have undergone a long journey in recent years, but still, innovations are continuing with leverage increases in computing power, new data availability, and new ways to leverage machine-learning algorithms. As a branch of artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision brings meaningful information from images and videos. Such innovations help communicators to run better campaigns, amplify messages further, and stand out in a noisy, crowded marketplace. Investigations in Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision for Industry 4.0 provides a holistic discussion of the new practical applications and use cases of computer vision and communications. Covering topics such as social media filters, mobile computer vision, and AI-powered image editing, this book is ideal for academicians, researchers, postgraduate students, professional data analysts, research and development centers, organizations dealing with healthcare informatics, and IT firms.
Since its emergence in the mid-1980s through the protagonism of free software and open source movements, the concept of freely shareable technology has steadily established itself in the following decades to enter the 21st century as a leading industrial paradigm. From the original ambit of software technology, the principles of collaborative construction of publicly accessible knowledge grounding the open source paradigm have been extended to embrace any intellectual artifact made available under non-exclusive rights of utilization, development, and distribution. It is noteworthy, however, that whilst on one hand it is not difficult to enumerate advantages of the use of open source products...
