MMSP'13 - Call For Papers 15th IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing Pula (Sardinia), Italy September 30 – October 2, 2013 http://www.mmsp2013.org IMPORTANT DATES: Regular and Special Session paper submission: March 29, 2013 Author notification: May 20, 2013 Camera-ready paper submission: June 10, 2013 On-going Work paper submission: June 30, 2013 MMSP 2013 is the 15th IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing. The workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. This year's event has a multimedia forensics theme. The workshop will bring together researchers and developers in both multimedia signal processing and multimedia forensics to share their latest achievements and explore future directions and synergies in these exciting areas. Papers are solicited in (but not limited to) the following topics, covering this year's theme and the general scope of the multimedia signal processing: MULTIMEDIA FORENSICS: Signal and data authentication, video surveillance, content identification, steganography and fingerprinting, counter-forensics, channel and source identification. CLIENT_CLOUD MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS, APPLICATIONS, AND EXPERIENCES: Image and video search, map-based applications, mobile-based multimedia applications, conferencing, virtual classrooms and distance learning, multimodal collaboration, telemedicine, online multiplayer gaming, context-aware multimedia experiences. MULTIMEDIA FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND COLLABORATION: Ad-hoc broadband sensor array, microphone and camera array, loudspeaker and display array, sensor calibration and synchronization, source separation, localization, de-noising, enhancement and spatialization. VIRTUAL REALITY SIGNAL PROCESSING: Virtual reality and 3D imaging, 2D and 3D graphics/geometry animation, distributed virtual reality communication, 3D audio and video processing. SCENE ANALYSIS: Audiovisual scene analysis; object detection, identification, and tracking; gesture, face, and human pose recognition; presence detection and activity classification; multimodal sensor fusion. CODING: Distributed/centralized source coding for sensor arrays, scalable source coding for multiparty conferencing, error/loss resilient coding, channel coding and error protection, multiview and depth coding. NETWORKING: Voice and video over IP and wireless, quality monitoring and management, security, forensics, priority-based QoS, ad-hoc and real time communications, channel coding, packetization, synchronization. EMERGING TOPICS IN MULTIMEDIA SIGNAL PROCESSING: Crowdsourcing for multimedia, cloud-based video processing, compressed sensing, social networking, global/local image and video descriptors, and other emerging techniques. ***** Top 10% Paper Award ***** This award is granted to as many as 10% of the total paper submissions, and is open to all accepted papers. Papers will be evaluated based on originality, technical contribution, and presentation quality during the workshop. ***** On-going Work Track ***** Authors are ALSO invited to submit a 2-4 page description of new research ideas and on-going projects from all areas related to Multimedia signal processing. The On-going Work Track aims to present research that is not mature enough to warrant a full paper but which would be of interest to the general community. Accepted items will be presented as posters and made available online in the workshop web site. ****** For more information, please visit ******** ************ WWW.MMSP2013.ORG **************
