This book provides a comprehensive perspective over the landscape of super-resolution techniques developed for and applied to remotely-sensed images. The chapters tackle the most important problems that professionals face when dealing with super-resolution in the context of remote sensing. These are: evaluation procedures to assess the super-resolution quality; benchmark datasets (simulated and real-life); super-resolution for specific data modalities (e.g., panchromatic, multispectral, and hyperspectral images); single-image super-resolution, including generative adversarial networks; multi-image fusion (temporal and/or spectral); real-world super-resolution; and task-driven super-resolution. The book presents the results of several recent surveys on super-resolution specifically for the remote sensing community.

This text covers state-of-the-art color image and video enhancement techniques. The book examines the multivariate nature of color image/video data as it pertains to contrast enhancement, color correction (equalization, harmonization, normalization, balancing, constancy, etc.), noise removal and smoothing. This book also discusses color and contrast enhancement in vision sensors and applications of image and video enhancement.

Thisbook presents the state-of-the-art in face detection and analysis. It outlinesnew research directions, including in particular psychology-based facialdynamics recognition, aimed at various applications such as behavior analysis,deception detection, and diagnosis of various psychological disorders. Topicsof interest include face and facial landmark detection, face recognition, facialexpression and emotion analysis, facial dynamics analysis, face classification,identification, and clustering, and gaze direction and head pose estimation, aswell as applications of face analysis.

Color perception plays an important role in object recognition and scene understanding both for humans and intelligent vision systems. Recent advances in digital color imaging and computer hardware technology have led to an explosion in the use of color images in a variety of applications including medical imaging, content-based image retrieval, biometrics, watermarking, digital inpainting, remote sensing, visual quality inspection, among many others. As a result, automated processing and analysis of color images has become an active area of research, to which the large number of publications of the past two decades bears witness. The multivariate nature of color image data presents new challenges for researchers and practitioners as the numerous methods developed for single channel images are often not directly applicable to multichannel  ones. The goal of this volume is to summarize the state-of-the-art in the early stages of the color image processing pipeline.
