Presents the latest scholarly research on the implementation of innovative techniques to a broad spectrum of multimedia applications by presenting emerging methods in continuous media processing and manipulation. This book offers a fresh perspective for students and researchers of information technology, media professionals, and programmers.

This book proposes soft computing techniques for segmenting real-life images in applications such as image processing, image mining, video surveillance, and intelligent transportation systems.

This book explains efficient solutions for segmenting the intensity levels of different types of multilevel images. The authors present hybrid soft computing techniques, which have advantages over conventional soft computing solutions as they incorporate data heterogeneity into the clustering/segmentation procedures.

This is a useful introduction and reference for researchers and graduate students of computer science and electronics engineering, particularly in the domains of image processing and computational intelligence.
