This book is a collection of the latest applications of methods from soft computing and machine
learning in image processing. It explores different areas ranging from image segmentation to
the object recognition using complex approaches and includes the theory of the methodologies
used to provide an overview of the application of these tools in image processing.The material
has been compiled from a scientific perspective and the book is primarily intended for
undergraduate and postgraduate science engineering and computational mathematics students. It
can also be used for courses on artificial intelligence advanced image processing and
computational intelligence and is a valuable resource for researchers in the evolutionary
computation artificial intelligence and image processing communities.
