Applied Signal and Image Processing: Multidisciplinary Advancements highlights the growing multidisciplinary nature of signal and image processing by focusing on emerging applications and recent advances in well-established fields. This book covers state-or-the-art applications in both signal and image processing, which include optical communication and sensing, wireless communication management, face recognition and facial imaging, solar imaging and feature detection, fractal analysis, and video processing.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Earlier detection, through non-invasive mammography scanning is extremely important for reducing the death rates from breast cancer. In this book we introduce an automated Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system that can accurately detect cancer cells at early stages and reduce the workload of radiologists. The CAD system integrates image processing and machine learning technologies to simulate the way radiologists detect Microcalcifications in mammograms. The CAD system is tested on Benchmark...
