In recent years, topology based techniques have begun to emerge as a general framework in visualization with the increase of scientific data in size and complexity. Topology could be used to capture significant features of the data at an abstract level, enabling and facilitating data understanding in visualization. This book focuses on investigating effective uses of the contour tree, one of topological abstractions of the scalar field, in improving efficiency of volumetric data analysis. It achieves the goals by increasing the presentation of topology information in order to explore various...

This book explores robust multimodal cognitive load measurement with physiological and behavioural modalities, which involve the eye, Galvanic Skin Response, speech, language, pen input, mouse movement and multimodality fusions. Factors including stress, trust, and environmental factors such as illumination are discussed regarding their implications for cognitive load measurement. Furthermore, dynamic workload adjustment and real-time cognitive load measurement with data streaming are presented in order to make cognitive load measurement accessible by more widespread applications and users....

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the world around us, and it is changing the way people are living, working, and entertaining. As a result, demands for understanding how AI functions to achieve and enhance human goals from basic needs to high level well-being (whilst maintaining human health) are increasing. This edited book systematically investigates how AI facilitates enhancing human needs in the digital age, and reports on the state-of-the-art advances in theories, techniques, and applications of humanity driven AI. Consisting of five parts, it covers the fundamentals of AI and...
