Machine Learning For Audio, Image And Video Analysis

Focusing on complex media and how to convert raw data into useful information, this book offers both introductory and advanced material in the combined fields of machine learning and image/video processing. It is organized into three parts. The first focuses on technical aspects, basic mathematical notions and elementary machine learning techniques. The second provides an extensive survey of most relevant machine learning techniques for media processing. The third focuses on applications and shows how techniques are applied in actual problems. Examples and problems are based on data and software packages publicly available on the web.
