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.

Hybrid Intelligent Techniques for Pattern Analysis and Understanding outlines the latest research on the development and application of synergistic approaches to pattern analysis in real-world scenarios.

An invaluable resource for lecturers, researchers, and graduates students in computer science and engineering, this book covers a diverse range of hybrid intelligent techniques, including image segmentation, character recognition, human behavioral analysis, hyperspectral data processing, and medical image analysis.

This book explains aspects of social networks, varying from development and application of new artificial intelligence and computational intelligence techniques for social networks to understanding the impact of social networks. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with the basic strategies towards social networks such as mining text from such networks and applying social network metrics using a hybrid approach; Chaps. 3 to 8 focus on the prime research areas in social networks: community detection, influence maximization and opinion mining. Chapter 9 to 13 concentrate on studying the impact and use of...
