Aims and Scope
--------------
Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of embedded vision systems
such as camera phones, automotive vision (automotive safety), video
analytics (automated video surveillance), machine vision (quality
inspection), vision-assisted robots, and medical imaging devices.
Advances in computer vision algorithms, embedded processing
architectures, integrated circuit technology, and electronic design
methodology are enabling new ways to develop and implement computer
vision algorithms, shifting from the traditional workstation to
embedded systems.

This special issue is aimed at describing the advances in addressing
implementation issues for vision algorithms in embedded systems. A
growing community of researchers and practitioners is bridging the gap
between the theory and practice, and making design choices through
systematic analysis in order to meet embedded system constraints. The
focus of this special issue is on research that is related to meeting
design constraints such as real-time performance, power consumption,
and memory requirements of an embedded camera platform.

Topics relevant to the Special Issue include:
. Analysis of computer vision problems for embedded systems
(algorithmic tradeoffs that impact system design)
. Analysis of embedded systems problems for computer vision (real-time
performance, power consumption, memory requirements, etc.)
. New system architectures and computation models
. Verification methods for mission-critical systems
. Embedded multiprocessor systems and reconfigurable processors (DSP,
FPGA, ASIC, SoC, GPU, etc.) . Hybrid / distributed models and
architectures
. Applications of embedded computer vision
. Development tools and methodology
