Special Issue on 'Multi-camera
and Multi-modal Sensor Fusion
'
Call for Papers
Theme of the
special
issue
Advances in sensing technologies as well as the increasing
availability of computational power and efficient bandwidth
usage methods are favouring the emergence of applications based
on distributed systems combining multiple cameras and other
sensing modalities. These applications include audiovisual scene
analysis, immersive human-computer interfaces, occupancy sensing
and event detection for smart environment applications,
automated collection, summarization and distribution of
multi-sensor data, and enriched personal communication, just to
mention a few. This special issue proposes to address the
principal technical challenges in vision processing when the
video modality is also supported by other inputs such as audio,
speech, context, depth sensors, and/or other cameras. Topics of
interest to the special issue include:
- Multi-camera system algorithms and applications
- Multi-modal systems and data fusion methods
- Distributed sensing and processing methods for human-centric
applications
- Distributed multi-modal scene analysis and event
interpretation
- Automated annotation and summarization of multi-view video
- Automated creation of audiovisual reports (from meetings,
lectures, sport events, etc.)
- Multi-modal gesture recognition
- Multi-modal human-computer interfaces
- Data processing and fusion in multi-modal embedded systems
- Context-awareness and behaviour modelling
- Performance evaluation metrics
- Applications in distributed surveillance, smart rooms, virtual
reality, and e-health
