Special Issue on Advance in Digital Signal, Image and Video Processing

Guest editorial introduction to the special issue on image and video processing for digital libraries

Welcome to the Special Issue on Digital Libraries. It is a nice coincidence that the first issue of the TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING for the 21st Century be on a topic that has seen a remarkable growth in the last few years, and one that is very likely to have a significant impact on various aspects of technology and human life in the new millennium! Digital media and, in particular, images...

Special Issue on Image Processing and Analysis

Conceptualizing away the sketch processing details in a user interface will enable general users and domain experts to create more complex sketches. There are many domains for which sketch recognition systems are being developed. But, they entail image-processing skill if they are to handle the details of each domain, and also they are lengthy to build. The implemented system’s goal is to enabl...

Special issue on image and video retrieval evaluation

Advances in technology, such as digital cameras, mobile phones and communications and networking are making visual media ubiquitous and readily accessible to a wide variety of consumers. To better manage this information, both description-based and content-based methods have been proposed [1, 2, 3, 4] for general as well as specialised domains [5]. However, although many techniques have been de...

Special Issue on Particle Filtering in Signal Processing

Special issue on image and video coding beyond standards

Today’s visual information coding standards or de facto adopted methods are the fruits of a tremendous evolution, over the past decades, in several converging (elds, from information theory to signal processing and computer science. Major milestones like arithmetic coding or wavelet theory have paved the way to e,cient coding methods. The optimality of the so-called classical coding methods can...
