This book presents the proceedings of the Fifth World Conference on Intelligent and 3D Technologies (WCI3DT 2026). The chapters in the book are arranged into three groups according to their content:
   I. Intelligent methods and algorithms.
   II. Flexible models.
   III. Adaptive control systems.
The book covers significant part of the theoretical approaches in the contemporary intelligent signal processing and analysis, robotics, image analysis and related applications based on AI, virtual and augmented reality, etc., and is focused on various important topics, such as: personalized health intervention strategies; intangible cultural heritage; tensor-based restoration of astronomical images; AI music generation and vocal music teaching; water transport engineering; intelligent teaching platforms; neutron spectrum unfolding network, and many others. This book will be useful for researchers and students who work in all areas of image processing and scientists, involved in the development of new devices and technologies needed by the market.   

Roumiana Kountcheva got her M.Sc. and Ph.D. at the Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria. In 1992 she got the title senior researcher. At present, she is the vice president of TK Engineering, Sofia. She had postgraduate trainings in Fujitsu and Fanuc, Japan. Her main scientific interests are in image processing, image compression, digital watermarking, pattern recognition, image tensor representation, neural networks, CNC and programmable controllers. She has more than 240 publications and 5 patents (EU and USA). R. Kountcheva was the plenary speaker at 34 international scientific conferences and scientific events. She was a co-editor of more than 10 books published in Springer SIST series and of several Special issues for Symmetry MDPI. She is a member of international organizations: Bulgarian Association for Pattern Recognition, International Research Institute for Economics and Management (IRIEM), and the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (IDSAI).
