Fourth International Conference on Image Processing and Capsule Networks: ICIPCN 2023 (Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems, 798)

This book includes high-quality research papers presented at the Fourth International Conference on Image Processing and Capsule Networks (ICIPCN 2023), which is held in Bangkok, Thailand, during 10–11 August 2023. This book provides a collection of the state-of-the-art research attempts to tackle the challenges in image and signal processing from various novel and potential research perspectives. The book investigates feature extraction techniques, image enhancement methods, reconstruction models, object detection methods, recommendation models, deep and temporal feature analysis, intelligent decision support systems, and autonomous image detection models. In addition to this, the book also looks into the potential opportunities to monitor and control the global pandemic situations.

João Manuel R. S. Tavares graduated in Mechanical Engineering at the Universidade do Porto, Portugal, in 1992. He also earned his M.Sc. degree and Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Universidade do Porto in1995 and 2001 and attained his Habilitation in Mechanical Engineering in 2015. He is a senior researcher at the Instituto de Ciência e Inovação em Engenharia Mecânica e Engenharia Industrial (INEGI) and an associate professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering (DEMec) of the Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP). Antonio Fernández-Caballero received his Master in Computer Science from the School of Computer Science at the Technical University of Madrid, Spain, and he received his Ph.D. from the Department of Artificial Intelligence of the National University for Distance Education, Spain. He is a full professor at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain. His interests enforce him to be part of the membership in National Society Networks AERFAI (Spanish Association of Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis), RTNAC (National Natural and Artificial Computation Network), RedAF (Physical Agents Network), AIPO (Association of Human–Computer Interaction) and Spanish Technology Platform on Robotics (Hisparob) and European networks euCognition (The European Network for the Advancement of Artificial Cognitive Systems), and SIMILAR (The European taskforce Creating human–machine interfaces SIMILAR to human–human communication).
