AI in Imaging

Aims

Imaging science is a multidisciplinary field concerned with the generation, collection, duplication, analysis, modification, and visualization of images. As an evolving field, it includes research and researchers from the fields of physics, mathematics, electrical engineering, computer vision, computer science, and perceptual psychology. On the other hand, artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by computers, as opposed to human or animal intelligence. Intelligence encompasses the ability to learn and to reason, to generalize, and to infer meaning. Machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks, all sub-fields of AI, focus on the use of data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving the accuracy of the problems posed, in particular those related to imaging applications.
