Special issue on Image and Video Quality Assessment

Quality assessment and control of images and videos from the input (capture device) to the final output (display and its environment) presented to the human viewer is essential for image/video applications and services. PSNR and other related measures have long been the most popular quality criteria used by engineers and researchers to evaluate and optimize the performances of digital image and...

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 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...

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...
