    Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), widespread mobile devices, internet technologies, multimedia data sources, and information processing have led to the emergence of multimedia processing. Multimedia processing is the application of signal processing tools to multimedia data—text, audio, images, and video—to allow the interpretation of these data, particularly in urban and smart city environments. This book discusses the new standards of multimedia and information processing from several technological perspectives, including analytics empowered by AI, streaming on the intelligent edge, multimedia edge caching and AI, services for edge AI, and hardware and devices for multimedia on edge intelligence.

    Biography

    Xavier Savarimuthu, S.J., is the Principal of St. Xavier’s College Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. He has spent more than two decades in the fields of scientific research, teaching, research, and consultancy in Jesuit higher education institutions like St. Xavier’s College (Vice Principal), Kolkata, and St. Joseph’s University (Research Director) in Bengaluru. He has taught at Santa Clara University, California, and Saint Joseph’s University, Philadelphia, where he held the endowed Donald MacLean Jesuit Chair. Dr. Savarimuthu’s academic prowess is reflected in the fact that he was a research assistant and a Fogarty trainee in the University of California, Berkeley’s Arsenic Research Program for his doctoral research. He was invited to deliver lectures in Stockholm (Sweden) and Manila (the Philippines). A few more feathers in his cap were added when he delivered invited lectures at the University of Oxford and at the United Nations climate summits while attending the famous COP 21 in Paris (France) and COP 23 in Bonn (Germany). He has presented and published extensively on arsenic pollution in West Bengal, both in India and abroad. His latest article, "The Earth We Want Requires Reconciliation", was published in four languages: French, Spanish, Latin, and English. He has authored a Cambridge University Press textbook titled Fundamentals of Environmental Studies. His second edited volume is Go Green for Sustainability, published by CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group in Boca Raton, Florida, and Oxford, UK. Artificial Intelligence for Multimedia Information Processing: Tools and Applications is his third book in his lifetime achievement of focusing on current pertinent issues.
