EURASIP 2013 - Special Issue on Real-Time Multimedia Coding and Transmission

Applications such as online gaming, video conferencing, video surveillance systems, industrial visual
inspection systems and many other embedded image and video processing applications will require very fast
image/video processing capabilities due to their intrinsic real-time temporal requirements.
At the same time, the availability of increasingly higher resolution video cameras puts in evidence the
limitations of multimedia coding and transmission techniques due to the huge volume of information to
process under real-time constraints. Most of these applications run on devices with constrained resources
(computational and/or power resources), like smart phones, tablets, laptops, embedded systems, still/video
cameras, etc., which makes more challenging their design and deployment. Furthermore, the transmission
of multimedia contents requires fulfilling throughput, spectral efficiency, and transmission energy
consumption requirements.
So, this special issue will cover all aspects related to multimedia (especially image and video) coding and
transmission techniques, in particular those well suited for resource-constrained devices and applications
with real-time temporal restrictions. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not
currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited. Specific topics include,
but are not limited to, the following:
7 Low complexity multimedia coding algorithms
7 Fast transform (DCT, Wavelet, etc.) algorithms
7 Coding algorithms for high-speed devices
7 Parallel algorithms for multimedia coding
7 Real-time video transmission
