Smart Spaces covers the latest concepts and technologies surrounding smart spaces, providing technical personnel engaged in smart space related research and industries a more in-depth understanding of smart spaces. This book can be used as a reference for practicing this emerging discipline, but it will also be useful for researchers, scientists, developers, practitioners, and graduate students working in the fields of smart spaces and artificial intelligence. It combines the study of working or living spaces with computing, information equipment, and multimodal sensing devices, and with natural and convenient interactive interfaces to support how people can easily obtain services from computer systems.People's work and life in smart spaces use computer systems; it is a process of uninterrupted interaction between people and the computer system. In this process, the computer is no longer just an information processing tool that passively executes explicit human operation commands but a collaborator with people to complete tasks - a partner to human beings. International research on smart spaces is quite extensive, which shows the important role of smart spaces in ubiquitous computing research.

Comprehensively introduces smart spaces, from basic concepts, core technologies, technical architecture, application scenarios, and other aspectsCovers the latest cutting-edge application technology of smart spaces in various fields, providing relevant practitioners with ideas to solve problems and have a deeper understanding of smart spacesServes as teaching material or as a reference for teachers and students of interaction design, internet of things, ubiquitous and pervasive computing, and artificial intelligenceGives a detailed introduction to the theory of Smart Spaces and uses mathematical formulas

Over the last two decades, Digital Twins (DTs) have become the intelligent representation of future development in industrial production and daily life. Consisting of over 50 chapters by more than 100 contributors, this comprehensive handbook explains the concept, architecture, design specification and application scenarios of DTs.As a virtual model of a process, product or service to pair the virtual and physical worlds, DTs allow data analysis and system monitoring by using simulations. The fast-growing technology has been widely studied and developed in recent years. Featured with centralization, integrity and dynamics, it is cost-effective to drive innovation and performance. Many fields saw the adaptation and implementation across industrial production, healthcare, smart city, transportation and logistics. World-famous enterprises such as Siemens, Tesla, ANSYS and General Electric have built smart factories and pioneered digital production, heading towards Industry 4.0.This book aims to provide an in-depth understanding and reference of DTs to technical personnel in the field, students and scholars of related majors, and general readers interested in intelligent industrial manufacturing.

This book introduces the application of computer vision (CV) and AI technologies to indoor personnel information monitoring, outdoor thermal environment monitoring, construction safety monitoring, and HVAC equipment monitoring.Computer Vision and AI for Indoor/Outdoor Thermal Environment, Construction Safety, and HVAC Equipment Monitoring explores non-contact measurement techniques relevant to the field of indoor human information and their applications in on-demand regulation of HVAC systems in sleep and office scenarios. It explores the application of CV technologies and machine learning algorithms in the field of outdoor environment monitoring, such as urban thermal environment improvement and building construction safety management. The book also covers HVAC equipment monitoring with CV technologies, including the use of visible and infrared images to detect heat pump frost and heat exchanger condensation. Finally, the authors address emerging technologies in indoor human information monitoring, outdoor environment monitoring, and HVAC equipment monitoring as well as their applications.This book is intended for researchers in computer science and image processing. It will also be useful to researchers in building environment as well as HVAC equipment maintenance.

In the era of big data and multi-connectivity via IoTs, protecting and securing multimedia data has become a real necessity and priority for organizations and businesses, but this can be a rather difficult task due to the heterogeneous nature of platforms and data sets. It is therefore essential to improve the security level of multimedia information by developing core technologies to prevent the loss and damage of information during processing and transmission.This book covers innovations and future perspectives in access control and security monitoring of multimedia Information processing and transmission. The authors present cybersecurity, privacy and control methods and technologies integrated with blockchain and multimedia AI, including encryption and watermarking techniques, wearable-based IoT security methods, multimedia data forensics and deepfake video security monitoring.This will be a useful reference for researchers, engineers and scientists in both academia and industry as well as lecturers and advanced students for developing efficient methods, frameworks and techniques for multimedia information processing security and privacy. It will also be of interest to multimedia platform and system developers and designers.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Generative AI in terms of basic concepts, core technologies, technical architecture, and application scenarios.
