Emerging Trends in Image Processing, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

Introduction

It gives me immense pleasure to present this edited book to the imaging science research community. As the title of this book (Emerging Trends in Image Processing, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition) suggests, this book addresses problems in the three intertwined areas: image processing, computer vision, and pattern recognition.

The collection of chapters compiled in the section entitled “Image and Signal Processing” presents solutions to imaging problems that use methods based on: noise reduction and removal (denoising), color filters, signal processing classifications, various forms of wavelet transformations, image quantization, processing of ultrasound and RF signals, image quality assessment, video processing, OCR, ...
