Special Session 1
Special Session 1: Statistical Modeling for Secure and Intelligent Image Processing
Organizer: Prof. Huiyu Zhou, University of Leicester, UK
About the session
			Smart Artificial intelligence powered image processing has been used 
			to monitor public spaces for security threats, manage traffic flows, 
			and detect infrastructure issues. These technologies involve the use 
			of AI and machine learning to analyze and interpret visual data from 
			CCTV cameras, drones and other imaging devices, transforming the way 
			of how cities operate. In this track, we are in particular 
			interested to these key techniques of driving AI image processing:
			
• Object detection and tracking – AI tools are used to detect 
			and track objects within an image or video, allowing applications 
			such as traffic control, security surveillance and infrastructure 
			protection.
• Video analysis – AI tools are used to detect 
			activities, identify unusual behaviours and support public safety 
			and security monitoring. 
• Anomaly detection – AI tools are used 
			to detect unexpected events, such as accidents on roads, damaged 
			infrastructure, or suspicious activities in pub spaces.
• 
			Statistical modeling of the above research areas.
The topics of interest include, but are not 
			limited to:
• Automated traffic monitoring
• Digital forensic 
			image analysis
• Environmental change detection
• Health 
			monitoring 
• Facial recognition
• Document digitalization and 
			archiving
• Sports analysis
• Anomaly detection 
• 3d 
			reconstruction
• Early detection of human diseases
• Early 
			detection of plant diseases
• Virtual reality 
• Pattern 
			recognition
