This book explores the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in diagnosing skin cancer, emphasising the importance of early detection to improve treatment outcomes. It reviews various machine learning algorithms, with a focus on support vector machines, to classify skin cancer with higher accuracy than traditional methods. Designed for beginners and experts alike, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of AI techniques and their implementation in healthcare. • Compares the accuracy of AI-based detection methods with traditional medical practices. • Covers the basics of AI and its relevance in early disease detection, different types of skin cancer and the critical need for early detection. • Reviews various machine learning techniques, focusing on support vector machines for skin cancer classification. • Provides step-by-step guidance on implementing AI techniques for skin cancer detection, including programming aspects. • Includes illustrations and real-world examples of AI in action for early skin cancer detection. The findings of this study will aid doctors in treating the disease at its onset, preventing future deterioration. This book can be referred to by professionals and researchers.

Considering the overall situation of the current pandemic and pertinent recommendations, this book focuses on the use of augmented reality (AR) applications for preventing COVID-19 outbreaks along with techniques, tools, and platforms to achieve social distancing.and sanitization. COVID-19 Public Health Measures: An Augmented Reality Perspective contains theoretical and practical knowledge of AR and remedies on how to cope with the pandemic, including multiple use cases along with a set of recommendations. This book illustrates application building using open-source software with an interactive interface to aid impaired users. The initial part of this book emphasizes the basic knowledge of AR, technology, devices, and rest of the relevant theories. This book is aimed at researchers, students of AR, technical healthcare professionals, and practitioners. Key Features:• Consists of an extensive introduction to the terminologies and components of AR• Provides in-depth knowledge of various tools and techniques used in AR• Introduces various platforms and software development kits (SDKs) such as Unity Engine, Unreal Engine, and Vuforia• Gives a step-by-step guide for the development of an AR app• Describes how AR can be used specifically by impaired users not only in the situation of current pandemic but also in normal situations thus simplifying day-to-day activities
