The aim of this comprehensive book is to present cutting-edge computational techniques and methodologies for analyzing the clinical, epidemiological, and public health aspects of the SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 pandemic. It delves into the utilization of soft computing techniques, including machine learning algorithms, to examine the epidemiological dimensions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The book offers a clear and concise explanation of novel computational image processing algorithms for the accurate detection of COVID-19 lesions in lung CT and X-ray images. It explores a diverse range of computational methods for computerized analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including severity assessment. Furthermore, the book provides a detailed description of the algorithms that have the potential to facilitate large-scale screening of SARS-CoV-2 infected cases. Additionally, the book elucidates conventional epidemiological models and machine learning techniques for predicting the course of the COVID-19 epidemic. Real-life examples are provided through comprehensive case studies, making the content accessible and applicable to a wide range of audiences, including biomedical engineers, mathematicians, postgraduate students, researchers, and medical scientists engaged in identifying and tracking infectious diseases.
