Focusing on complex media and how to turn raw data into useful information, this book offers introductory and advanced materials in a combination of machine learning and image / video processing. Machine learning techniques presented enable readers to solve real world problems that involve many complex data. The book is organized into four sections: The first focuses on technical aspects, basic mathematical notions and elementary machine learning techniques. The second provides a broad survey of the most relevant machine learning techniques for media processing, while the third section focuses on the application and show how the techniques applied in the real problem.
