Cesare Rossi Preface There is no doubt that Brain, Vision and Artificial Intelligence are among the new fron-tiers of science and research; in addition these topics are particularly interesting both for the young scientists and for the less young ones. Moreover, this field of research is very multidisciplinary: the scientists that carry on researches on these topics belong to wide number of different academic education since different aspects of physics, engineering and also medicine are involved. It is really exciting to meet, at the conferences on this topic, such a number of different knowledge all together. It is possible to affirm that the results of the researches on Vision and AI will lead up to considerable changes in many fields: researches on AI will improve, for instance, the interac-tion between man and computer; Vision involves the robotic vision and automation, the analysis of motion, the diagnostics, the cultural heritages conservation, security and surveil-lance. Recent applications already permit to machines and other devices to interact with man and with the environment; this had never happened in the history of man and, until few decades ago, it seemed just science fiction. The scientists that have contributed to this book have studied different aspects of these disciplines, therefore it is also impossible to summarize the results of their researches. Briefly, the main field of research concerned vision models, visual perception of motion, neuron models, detection and restoration, models of cellular development, multiple image detection and processing, 3D vision, human movement analysis, artificial vision applica-tions to robotics, AI application to prediction of trip generation and distribution, applica-tions to the replication process of the CBSRSAS systems, MOPT, ranking and extraction of single words in a text. The Authors that have contributed to this book work at Universities and Research Insti-tutes, practically, all over the world and the results of their researches have been published on international journals and appreciated in many international conferences.
