Computational Intelligence for Signal and Image Processing in Industrial and Environmental Applications
Adaptability and advanced services for industrial manufacturing require an intelligent technological support for understanding the production process characteristics also in complex situations. Quality control is specifically one of the activities in manufacturing which is very critical for ensuring high-quality products and competitiveness on the market.
Similarly, environmental monitoring increasingly needs adaptive approaches to deal with variability and evolvability of the environmental phenomena. Earth observation and pollution monitoring are very demanding in this perspective.
Computational intelligence can provide additional flexible techniques for designing and implementing monitoring and control systems, which can be configured from behavioral examples or by mimicking approximate reasoning processes to achieve adaptable systems.
This talk will analyze the opportunities offered by computational intelligence technologies to support signal and image processing for adaptable operations and intelligent services both in industrial applications, specifically focusing on manufacturing processes and quality control, and in environmental monitoring, focusing on Earth observation and pollution monitoring.
