Springer Machine Vision and Augmented Intelligence―Theory and Applications: Select Proceedings of MAI 2021: 796 (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering, 796)

Product Description This book comprises the proceedings of the International Conference on Machine Vision and Augmented Intelligence (MAI 2021) held at IIIT, Jabalpur, in February 2021. The conference proceedings encapsulate the best deliberations held during the conference. The diversity of participants in the event from academia, industry, and research reflects in the articles appearing in the volume. The book theme encompasses all industrial and non-industrial applications in which a combination of hardware and software provides operational guidance to devices in the execution of their functions based on the capture and processing of images. This book covers a wide range of topics such as modeling of disease transformation, epidemic forecast, COVID-19, image processing and computer vision, augmented intelligence, soft computing, deep learning, image reconstruction, artificial intelligence in healthcare, brain-computer interface, cybersecurity, and social network analysis, natural language processing, etc. From the Back Cover This book comprises the proceedings of the International Conference on Machine Vision and Augmented Intelligence (MAI 2021) held at IIIT, Jabalpur, in February 2021.
