Recent Trends in Signal and Image Processing: Proceedings of ISSIP 2018 (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing Book 922)

This book presents fascinating, state-of-the-art research findings in the field of signal and image processing. It includes conference papers covering a wide range of signal processing applications involving filtering, encoding, classification, segmentation, clustering, feature extraction, denoising, watermarking, object recognition, reconstruction and fractal analysis. It addresses various types of signals, such as image, video, speech, non-speech audio, handwritten text, geometric diagram, ECG and EMG signals; MRI, PET and CT scan images; THz signals; solar wind speed signals (SWS); and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals, and demonstrates how new paradigms of intelligent computing, like quantum computing, can be applied to process and analyze signals precisely and effectively. The book also discusses applications of hybrid methods, algorithms and image filters, which are proving to be better than the individual techniques or algorithms.
