Currently, computational intelligence (CI) is being used in a variety of applications and is thus influencing peoples lives in various ways. The growth in research in advanced computing and respective fields such as intelligent vision systems (IVSs) is assisting people by allowing rapid response and ease of use. The advancement of IVSs depends jointly on the development of advanced computing and knowledge of vision systems. IVSs help to achieve highly efficient performance (comparable to human vision) to allow a profound understanding of different scenarios and applications. IVSs provide the ability to handle and examine the big data generated by vision sensors and make decisions based on specific requirements. CI enables the different issues that influence IVSs and their practical use to be addresssed. Therefore, the merger of CI with IVSs can do wonders for the wellbeing of humans.

In recent times high performance computing has seen continued growth, affecting various fields and changing the computational domain altogether for the betterment of human life. Computer vision can be deemed as one of the most important fields which affects human life in a significant way. CI based computing can be very helpful in determining solutions for advanced vision systems as they required high-end processing capabilities. The in-depth analysis of large datasets is the basis for the development of IVSs and the same can be very helpful in vision and surveillance applications. Deep computational architecture and low level feature extraction, generation and understanding can provide new directions for the current research of vision systems.

Computer vision is a significant technology covering diverse fields. It plays an important role in the fields of information technology and intelligence. The combination of vision systems with CI is giving rise to IVSs. Computer vision is affecting different areas of human life such as surveillance, medical assistance, remote sensing, target detection, tracking, etc.

Computer vision plays a significant role in industry as well. Intelligent systems and computer vision find applications in various industrial phases such as the pre-processing, production and testing phases. Computer vision techniques are an important component of security and surveillance systems. An intelligent vision system using visible and infra-red sensors can track illegal activities and alert the user in the case of any incidents.

Considering the future issues of high performance computing and the need for IVSs, this book focuses on the advancements of this domain. This book is made up of contributions by invited research scholars, academic researchers and industry professional related to high performance computing for IVSs and related applications.
