Preface
The recent and rapid advancements of digital technologies have resulted in a
great increase of multimedia data production worldwide. This is also the case for
multimedia data that characterize our environment and the earth biodiversity and
reflecttheirstatus,behavior,changeaswellashumaninterestsandconcerns.Such
data become more and more crucial for understanding environmental issues and
phenomena.Therefore,thereisanincreasingneedforthedevelopmentofadvanced
methods, techniques and tools for collecting, managing, analysing, understanding
and modelling environmental and biodiversity data. This edited volume focuses
on the last and most impactful advancements of this field. It provides important
recommendations for the implementation of computational platforms dedicated
to environmental monitoring or citizen science observatories. It gives innovative
and detailed architectures and specifications for the development of real-time,
highly scalable, detection systems. Finally, it demonstrates the effectiveness of
computational intelligence approaches in the analysis and modelling of relevant
data.
