Advances in Image Processing, Reliability, and Artificial Intelligence: Data Centred-Techniques and Applications in Edge Computing provides a clear outlook of the mechanisms, risks, challenges, and opportunities in system reliability for image processing and AI applications running on edge devices. It provides Best Known Configuration (BKC) and Methods (BKM) while discussing trends and future works based on current research. The content serves as a reference for practitioners and provides a state-of-the-art for researchers in the area. It provides foundations to analyse and replicate different applications through use cases. It tackles concerns for how reliability aspects (i.e., fault tolerance, availability, maturity, and recoverability) are addressed for applications running in an environment that is not fully controlled and exposed to environmental variations.
