Innovations in Images, Signals, and Computing (eng)

This book consists of papers on the recent progresses in the state-of-the-art in images, signals, and their intersections with computing. The book can be useful for researchers, including professors, graduate students, as well as R & D staff in the industry, with a general interest in images, signals, and their intersections with computing. The work printed in this book was presented at the 2024 2nd International Conference on Images, Signals, and Computing (ICISC 2024), held from 21-23 September 2024, Chengdu, China. All papers were rigorously peer-reviewed by experts in the areas.
