CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS "High-Quality Visual Experience: creation, processing and interactivity of high-resolution and high-dimensional video signals" To be published by Springer Verlag in the series "Signals and Communication Technology" EDITED BY Marta Mrak, Mislav Grgic, Murat Kunt Submission of abstract: JUNE 29, 2009 Submission of full chapters: SEPTEMBER 28, 2009 Web: http://personal.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/M.Mrak/SpringerHD/ BOOK DESCRIPTION Last few years have seen rapid acceptance of High-Definition Television (HDTV) technology around the world. This technology has been hugely successful in delivering more realistic TV experience at home and accurate imaging for professional applications. Adoption of HD continues to grow as consumers demand enhanced features, greater bandwidth, greater quality of content and interactivity. Key features that drive the development of future multimedia systems are content quality and interactivity. Therefore, new consumer technologies will be based on super-resolution systems, multi-view and layered coding. It is widely accepted that in future the video content will be of even higher resolution, with higher dynamic colour range and flexibly encoded providing more realistic experience. In this book the technologies to enable such content functionalities will be presented, together with high quality survey articles on applications in specific domains. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ---> End to End Architectures for High Quality of Visual Experience ---> 3D Visual Experience ---> Super Resolution ---> Sprite Generation ---> Higher Frame Rate Videos ---> High Dynamic Range Video ---> Innovative Multiview Video Technologies ---> Ultra High Definition Content Generation ---> Visual Data Interpolation ---> Visual Data Scalability ---> Interactivity ---> High-Quality Media Standardisation Challenges ---> High-Speed Internet for Multimedia Delivery SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are kindly invited to send their proposals and chapters by mailto:SpringerHD@surrey.ac.uk Careful preparation of the manuscripts will help keep production time short and ensure satisfactory appearance of the finished book.

The main topics are information and signal theory, acoustical signal processing, image processing and multimedia systems, mobile and wireless communications, and computer and communication networks. Volumes in the series address researchers in academia and industrial R&D departments. The series is application-oriented. The level of presentation of each individual volume, however, depends on the subject and can range from practical to scientific.
