\"There is a drastic growth in multimedia data. Even during the Covid-19 pandemic, we observed that the images helped doctors immensely in fast detection of Covid-19 infection in patients. There are many critical applications where images play a vital role. These applications use raw image data to extract some useful information about the world around us. Quick extraction of valuable information from raw images is one challenge that academicians and professionals face nowadays. This is where image processing comes into action. Image processing's primary purpose is to get an enhanced image or extract some useful information from it. Therefore, there is a major need for some technique or system that addresses this challenge. Intelligent Systems have emerged as a solution to address quick image information extraction. In simple words, an Intelligent System can be defined as a mathematical model that adapts itself to deal with the problems' dynamicity. These systems learn how to act so it can reach their objectives. Intelligent System helps accomplish various image processing functions like enhancement, segmentation, reconstruction, object detection, and morphing. The advent of Intelligent Systems in the image processing field has leveraged many critical applications for humankind. These critical applications include factory automation, biomedical imaging analysis, and decision-econometrics, Intelligent Systems and challenges\"-- Provided by publisher.

Long description: In this dissertation, novel Content-based Microscopic Image Analysis (CBMIA) methods, including Weakly Supervised Learning (WSL), are proposed to aid biological studies. In a CBMIA task, noisy image, image rotation, and object recognition problems need to be addressed. To this end, the first approach is a general supervised learning method, which consists of image segmentation, shape feature extraction, classification, and feature fusion, leading to a semi-automatic approach. In contrast, the second approach is a WSL method, which contains Sparse Coding (SC) feature extraction, classification, and feature fusion, leading to a full-automatic approach. In this WSL approach, the problems of noisy image and object recognition are jointly resolved by a region-based classifier, and the image rotation problem is figured out through SC features. To demonstrate the usefulness and potential of the proposed methods, experiments are implemented on different practical biological tasks, including environmental microorganism classification, stem cell analysis, and insect tracking.

Image processing and image analysis are typically important fields in information science and technology. By \"image processing\", we generally understand all kinds of operation performed on images (or sequences of images) in order to increase their quality, restore their original content, emphasize some particular aspect of the information or optimize their transmission, or to perform radiometric and/or spatial analysis. By \"image analysis\" we understand, however, all kinds of operation performed on images (or sequences of images) in order to extract qualitative or quantitative data, perform measurements and apply statistical analysis. Whereas there are nowadays many books dealing with image processing, only a small number deal with image analysis. The methods and techniques involved in these fields of course have a wide range of applications in our daily world: industrial vision, material imaging, medical imaging, biological imaging, multimedia applications, satellite imaging, quality control, traffic control, and so on

Content-Based Image Classification Efficient Machine Learning using Robust Feature Extraction Techniques is a comprehensive guide to initiate and excel in researching with invaluable image data. Social Science Research Network has revealed the fact that sixty five percent of us are visual learners. Research data provided by Hyerle(2000) has clearly shown ninety percent of information in our brain is visual. Thus, it is no wonder that processing of visual information in brain is 60,000 times faster than text based information (3M Corporation, 2001). Recent times have witnessed significant surge in conversing with images with popularity of social networking platforms. The other reason of embracing extensive usage of image data is easy availability of image capturing devices in the form of high resolution cell phone cameras. Extensive application of image data in diversified application areas including, medical science, media, sports, remote sensing and so on has stimulated the requirement of further research in optimizing archival, maintenance and retrieval of appropriate image content to leverage data driven decision making. This book has demonstrated several techniques of image processing to represent image data in desired format for information identification. It has discussed the application of machine learning and deep learning for identifying and categorizing appropriate image data helpful in designing automated decision support systems. The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including: Different Open Access Image Datasets to start your Machine Learning Journey Image Feature Extraction with Novel Handcrafted Techniques (Traditional Feature Extraction) Image Feature Extraction with Automated Techniques (Representation Learning with CNNs) Significance of Fusion Based Approaches in enhancing Classification Accuracy Matlab Codes for implementing the Techniques Use of Open Access Data Mining tool Weka for multiple tasks The book is intended for budding researchers, technocrats, engineering students and machine learning / deep learning enthusiasts who are willing to start their computer vision journey with content based image recognition. The readers will get a clear picture of the essentials for transforming the image data into valuable means of insight generation. The book will make the reader adept with coding tricks necessary to propose novel mechanisms and also to enhance state-of-the-art with disruptive approaches. The Weka guide provided in the book can prove itself beneficial for those who are not comfortable with coding for application of machine learning algorithm. The Weka tool will assist the learner to implement machine learning algorithms with the click of a button. Thus, the book is going to be your stepping stone for your machine learning journey.

We present the results of a study to optimize the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm for planet detection, a new algorithm complementing ADI and LOCI for increasing the contrast achievable next to a bright star. We apply PCA to our Fomalhaut VLT NACO Apodizing Phase Plate NB4.05 data.

We report on improvements made to the standard NICMOS processing pipeline. The calculation of the uncertainties on the signal accumulation rate has been modified to include the statistical correlations between the consecutive readouts. In order to correct a problem with the existing cosmic ray rejection algorithm, we have developed and implemented a joint fit procedure, where the accumulating signal is fit as linear functions of time with the same rate both before and after the cosmic ray (CR) impact. We also accounted for inter-pixel correlations in the CR-affected region. The new processing is most relevant for deep observations of faint targets, and for PSF fitting, for which unbiased measurements of accurate error estimates are important. We show examples of these improvements for deep NIC2 images of high-redshift supernova from the Supernova Cosmology Project.
