The text discusses the intrinsic vulnerabilities in traditional computer vision systems, such as data tampering and adversarial attacks, and illustrates how blockchain's decentralized and immutable ledger can mitigate these risks. Moreover, the book will examine the role of proxy smart contracts in implementing security protocols and ensuring data integrity within computer vision approaches.Discusses the integration of emerging technologies such as blockchain and generative artificial intelligence for computer vision applications with service scenarios.Explores existing secure solutions for computer vision applications with blockchain and advanced technologies.Explains the fusion of Blockchain and machine learning techniques for intrusion detection in computer vision.Covers real-world computer vision applications, such as smart healthcare, smart parking, and smart education, with secure environments as case studies.Examines security and privacy challenges in computer vision applications, discussing mitigation procedures, regulatory frameworks, and ethical contemplations crucial for protecting individuals' rights.The text is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and computer engineering. .

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Big Data analytics, BDA 2018, held in Warangal, India, in December 2018. The 29 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: big data analytics: vision and perspectives; financial data analytics and data streams; web and social media data; big data systems and frameworks; predictive analytics in healthcare and agricultural domains; and machine learning and pattern mining.

In view of the widespread occurrence, persistence, and harmful effects of environmental pollutants on human population, the present book is proposed.Emerging contaminants due to ubiquitous distribution, persistence, and toxic effects have necessitated the development of efficient methods for remediation of contamination.

This book is highly beneficial for a better understanding of the techniques involved in sewage treatment plants and the recovery of components from the contaminated matrix for valuable applications. The generation of a huge amount of sewage and sewage in cities and sub-cities is a big environmental crisis. Discharge of untreated or partially treated sewage imposes severe environmental pollution and health hazards. Various types of sewage treatment methods are used in different cities based on the current requirements. There are various norms, laws, and policies for the safe disposal of sludge and the discharge of sewage. In this proposed book, the generation of various sewage and sludge will be discussed in detail. Chemical analysis of sewage and sludge has been included in this proposed book. The impact of sewage and sludge on water resources, soil crops, and human health is also included in this proposed book. Various traditional and advanced treatment technologies of sewage treatment will be part of the proposed book. Reuse and recovery of nutrients and metals are also incorporated in this proposed book. One proposed chapter is dedicated to legislation in sewage discharge, and sludge disposal is also included in this proposed book. So, in this proposed book, we tried to incorporate a holistic view related to environmental issues of sewage and sludge and their management strategies. This not only leads to enhancement of valuable resources but also reduces the problem of environmental contamination. The conclusive reports presented in the present book will also help different researchers and government authorities to implement the best possible methods in the treatment of sewage and sludge in different industries.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are an emerging contaminant of global concern due to their carcinogenic/mutagenic nature, ubiquitous occurrence, long range transport, bioaccumulative characteristics, involvement in food chain and food web as well as toxicity in almost all segments of the environment. This contributed volume offers chapters that provide a detailed description of PAH ubiquity, sources, distribution, fate, derivatives, transport, detection techniques as well as remediation methods. Various anthropogenic activities are responsible for their dangerous concentrations of PAHs in the environment. The detection and remediation of such contaminants is the major challenge that this book aims to address. The chapters here provide cases detailing different adsorptive as well as photochemical and biological mechanisms for PAH removal . Green technologies, multidisciplinary approaches and new advancements for PAH remediation are also emphasized for better applicability with the aim of environmental sustainability.

This book examines innovative strategies for managing and treating waste at the end of its life cycle, including landfilling and waste incineration. It addresses various types of solid waste, their causes and impacts, and the technologies designed to minimize and repurpose them. This approach, commonly known as materials management, aims to comprehensively analyze how materials are handled before resorting to conventional waste-disposal methods. The book highlights the importance of converting waste into energy, biofuels, and compost, while emphasizing source reduction and extended producer responsibility. The ultimate goal is to manage materials across the entire economy at every stage of their life cycle, covering all phases of material and product production, from raw material extraction, design, and manufacturing to transportation and consumer use. Additionally, it discusses reuse, recycling, and final disposal practices.
