This book delves into visual object tracking (VOT), a fundamental aspect of computer vision crucial for replicating human dynamic vision, with applications ranging from self-driving vehicles to surveillance systems. Despite significant strides propelled by deep learning, challenges such as target deformation and motion persist, exposing a disparity between cutting-edge VOT systems and human performance. This observation underscores the necessity to thoroughly scrutinize and enhance evaluat...

Drylands, a home for nearly 2.5 billion people, are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change, and dryland area may expand to 50% of the Earth's surface by 2100. Climate change may aggravate the prevalence of undernutrition and malnutrition because of adverse effects on quantity and quality of food production in these regions. This book takes a holistic approach to sustainable management of drylands to make agriculture drought-resilient. Eminent scientists from around the world sha...
