Image Processing and Intelligent Computing Systems by Prateek Singhal (Hardback)

There is presently a drastic growth in multimedia data. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we observed that images helped doctors immensely in the rapid detection of Covid-19 infection in patients. There are many critical applications in which images play a vital role. These applications use raw image data to extract some useful information about the world around us. The quick extraction of valuable information from raw images is one challenge that academicians and professionals face in the present day. This is where image processing comes into action. Image processing's primary purpose is to get an enhanced image or extract some useful information from raw image data. Therefore, there is a major need for some technique or system that addresses this challenge. Intelligent Systems have emerged as a solution to address quick image information extraction. In simple words, an Intelligent System can be defined as a mathematical model that adapts itself to deal with a problem's dynamicity. These systems learn how to act so an image can reach an objective. An Intelligent System helps accomplish various image-processing functions like enhancement, segmentation, reconstruction, object detection, and morphing. The advent of Intelligent Systems in the image-processing field has leveraged many critical applications for humankind. These critical applications include factory automation, biomedical imaging analysis, decision econometrics, as well as related challenges.
