CALL FOR PAPERS: Symposium on Video Signal Processing and Analysis Within the International e-Conference on Computer Science (IeCCS 2007), 28 June – 8 July, http://www.ieccs.net Description: Today, displays based on liquid crystal (LCD) and plasma (PDP) technologies are getting more and more popular in the consumer markets. Those displays are able to show pictures with good details. However, the source video materials are not always satisfactory, because the source materials are usually down-sampled, corrupted with noise, and compressed. In order to improve the picture quality of source materials, video signal processing algorithms, which are adaptive to particular display types such as TV sets and mobile devices, must be designed. To automatically extract useful information from video materials, video content analysis algorithms should also be investigated. The topics of this symposium include but are not limited to: 1. Sharpness Enhancement 2. Contrast Enhancement 3. Denoising 4. Coding Artifact Reduction 5. Color Enhancement 6. Motion Estimation 7. Compression 8. Video Content Description 9. Video Shot Cut Detection 10. Feature Extraction 11. Pattern Recognition 12. Video Processing and Analysis for Mobile Devices Organizer: Dr. Ling Shao Dept.
