Journal of Real-Time Image Processing Special Issue on

Smart Cameras for Real-Time Image and Video Processing

 

Smart cameras and smart camera networks are becoming fundamental
pieces for intelligent environments, from homes to buildings and
cities, progressively inserting themselves into our lives. From smart
surveillance systems composed of a multitude of smart camera nodes to
small wearable cameras able to render a visual log of our daily
activities, these devices interact with each other and with a wealth
of other smart things, and of course the Internet. Thanks to the
convergence of relevant technologies such as imaging sensors, embedded
systems, video analytics and deep learning, this field is currently
undergoing a rapid development. This technology opens the door to many
application domains including video surveillance, autonomous driving,
robots and drones, smart factory and industry 4.0, health monitoring
and care, to name a few. Real-time image and video processing is a key
requirement for most of these applications.

 

The goal of this special issue is to present and highlight the latest
developments in the smart camera community with the focus being on the
real-time aspects of image and video processing.

 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

    Systems for real-time image and video processing

    Parallel processing hardware for real-time image and video processing

    HW/SW co-design for real-time embedded vision

    Reconfigurable architectures for real-time image and video processing

    Camera network architectures for real-time image and video processing

    Real-time embedded vision programming

    Real-time distributed video analytics

    Resource management and task allocation for real-time image and video processing

    Data aggregation and information fusion for real-time image and video processing

    Collaborative real-time object recognition and extraction

    Real-time visual landmark localization

    Deep learning on smart cameras for real-time image/video processing

    Transforming real-time embedded vision through deep learning

    Distributed learning algorithms in real-time visual sensor networks

    Real-time machine learning technology implementation on smart cameras

    Real-time image/video processing for smart environments (smart
    cities, smart home, smart health, smart factory)

    Real-time image/video processing for driver assistance and autonomous drivin
