This book presents cutting-edge research on various ways to bridge the semantic gap in image and video analysis. The respective chapters address different stages of image processing, revealing that the first step is a future extraction, the second is a segmentation process, the third is object recognition, and the fourth and last involve the semantic interpretation of the image.The semantic gap is a challenging area of research, and describes the difference between low-level features extracted from the image and the high-level semantic meanings that people can derive from the image. The result greatly depends on lower level vision techniques, such as feature selection, segmentation, object recognition, and so on. The use of deep models has freed humans from manually selecting and extracting the set of features. Deep learning does this automatically, developing more abstract features at the successive levels. The book offers a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, students and professors in Computer Engineering, Computer Science and related fields whose work involves images, video analysis, image interpretation and so on.

This book is dedicated to showcase research and innovation in smart healthcare systems and technologies led by women scientists, researchers, and practitioners.  With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies, the healthcare sector has undergone tremendous changes in practice and management in recent years.  On par to men, women have made significant contributions to tackle a variety of healthcare problems, creating smarter paradigms to provide effective and efficient solutions for patients and stakeholders. The book presents a small collection of contributions by outstanding women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education, focusing on the healthcare domain.  The selected articles allow readers to comprehend current advances in AI and other methods for undertaking healthcare challenges.  It is envisaged that the inspiring work by prominent women scientists, researchers, and practitioners reported inthis book offers a beacon to propel women in pursuing STEM education and advancing the healthcare sector for the benefits of humankind.

This book presents an introduction to new and important research in the images processing and analysis area. It is hoped that this book will be useful for scientists and students involved in many aspects of image analysis. The book does not attempt to cover all of the aspects of Computer Vision, but the chapters do present some state of the art examples.
