Bio-Inspired Computation and Applications in Image Processing

Bio-Inspired Computation and Applications in Image Processing summarizes the latest developments in bio-inspired computation in image processing, focusing on nature-inspired algorithms that are linked with deep learning, such as ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, and bat and firefly algorithms that have recently emerged in the field.

In addition to documenting state-of-the-art developments, this book also discusses future research trends in bio-inspired computation, helping researchers establish new research avenues to pursue.

• Reviews the latest developments in bio-inspired computation in image processing
• Focuses on the introduction and analysis of the key bio-inspired methods and techniques
• Combines theory with real-world applications in image processing
• Helps solve complex problems in image and signal processing
• Contains a diverse range of self-contained case studies in real-world applications

Xin-She Yang obtained his DPhil in Applied Mathematics from the University of Oxford. He then worked at Cambridge University and National Physical Laboratory (UK) as a Senior Research Scientist. He is currently a Reader in Modelling and Simulation at Middlesex University London, Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Application (IMA) and a Book Series Co-Editor of the Springer Tracts in Nature-Inspired Computing. He has published more than 25 books and more than 400 peer-reviewed research publications with over 82000 citations, and he has been on the prestigious list of highly cited researchers (Web of Sciences) for seven consecutive years (2016-2022).
