Big Data in a nutshell: It is the ability to retain, process, and understand data like never before. It can mean more data than what you are using today; but it can also mean different kinds of data, a venture into the unstructured world where most of today's data resides. In this book you will learn how cognitive computing systems, like IBM Watson, fit into the Big Data world. Learn about the concept of data-in-motion and InfoSphere Streams, the world's fastest and most flexible platform for streaming data. Capturing, storing, refining, transforming, governing, securing, and analyzing data are important topics also covered in this book.

This book offers a holistic approach to the Internet of Things (IoT) model, covering both the technologies and their applications, focusing on uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure. The authors add to the rapid growth in research on IoT communications and networks, confirming the scalability and broad reach of the core concepts. The book is filled with examples of innovative applications and real-world case studies. The authors also address the business, social, and legal aspects of the Internet of Things and explore the critical topics of security and privacy and their challenges for both individuals and organizations. The contributions are from international experts in academia, industry, and research.

MACHINE INTELLIGENCE, BIG DATA ANALYTICS, AND IoT IN IMAGE PROCESSING Discusses both theoretical and practical aspects of how to harness advanced technologies to develop practical applications such as drone-based surveillance, smart transportation, healthcare, farming solutions, and robotics used in automation. The concepts of machine intelligence, big data analytics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) continue to improve our lives through various cutting-edge applications such as disease detection in real-time, crop yield prediction, smart parking, and so forth. The transformative effects of these technologies are life-changing because they play an important role in demystifying smart healthcare, plant pathology, and smart city/village planning, design and development. This book presents a cross-disciplinary perspective on the practical applications of machine intelligence, big data analytics, and IoT by compiling cutting-edge research and insights from researchers, academicians, and practitioners worldwide. It identifies and discusses various advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, image processing, network security, cloud computing, and sensors, to provide effective solutions to the lifestyle challenges faced by humankind. Machine Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, and IoT in Image Processing is a significant addition to the body of knowledge on practical applications emerging from machine intelligence, big data analytics, and IoT. The chapters deal with specific areas of applications of these technologies. This deliberate choice of covering a diversity of fields was to emphasize the applications of these technologies in almost every contemporary aspect of real life to assist working in different sectors by understanding and exploiting the strategic opportunities offered by these technologies. Audience The book will be of interest to a range of researchers and scientists in artificial intelligence who work on practical applications using machine learning, big data analytics, natural language processing, pattern recognition, and IoT by analyzing images. Software developers, industry specialists, and policymakers in medicine, agriculture, smart cities development, transportation, etc. will find this book exceedingly useful.

This book contributes to the progress towards intelligent transportation. It emphasizes new data management and machine learning approaches such as big data, deep learning and reinforcement learning. Deep learning and big data are very energetic and vital research topics of today’s technology. Road sensors, UAVs, GPS, CCTV and incident reports are sources of massive amount of data which are crucial to make serious traffic decisions. Herewith this substantial volume and velocity of data, it is challenging to build reliable prediction models based on machine learning methods and traditional relational database. Therefore, this book includes recent research works on big data, deep convolution networks and IoT-based smart solutions to limit the vehicle’s speed in a particular region, to support autonomous safe driving and to detect animals on roads for mitigating animal-vehicle accidents. This book serves broad readers including researchers, academicians, students and working professional in vehicles manufacturing, health and transportation departments and networking companies.
