Cameras are becoming ubiquitous due to the proliferation of smart
mobile devices. Most of these cameras are embedded in networked mobile
computing devices with ever increasing computational power, providing
infrastructure to develop smart environments that support a wide range
of new functionality. Emerging applications of computer vision and
pattern recognition have great potential for innovation in these
areas. The focus of this special issue is on exploring the new
opportunities and challenges of computer vision technologies in mobile
and smart environments. This special issue provides another
opportunity for researchers to identify critical problems and propose
effective novel solutions in this emerging area.

Computer vision is essential for providing rich interactive
experiences to users in mobile and smart environments. In particular,
visual recognition, 3D modeling, tracking, human computer interaction,
interactive vision and visualization, and multimodal integration are
some of the key technologies for progress in the area. Submissions in
all areas of computer vision and pattern recognition in mobile and
smart environment are welcome. Key areas include, but are not limited
to:

    *

      Mobile mixed reality *

      Mobile and internet vision *

      Mobile video games *

      Mobile perceptual interfaces *

      Mobile computational photography *
