Special issue on Audio Coding, Indexing and Effects for Broadcasting Applications

International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdmb/osi.html


Traditional broadcasting and analog TV are being gradually replaced by advanced digital broadcasting systems including digital audio broadcasting,
digital TV, Internet TV and audio streaming over IP, and so on. In
these new digital applications and systems, audio processing is playing
more and more role, which covers coding, indexing, capture, retrieval,
surround sound, classification, recording, watermarking, loudness
control, transmission, other pre/post processing, and their convergence
to silicon-chip. More importantly, the fast growing of digital broadcasting services
in mobile/handheld devices makes the research and development of audio
processing become very challenging tasks and require huge efforts of
the related academic, research, industry, standardization
organizations, regulation authorities, content providers, and services
providers.
This Special Issue aims to stimulate and guide the development of
new and improved audio processing systems by providing a unique form
with high quality and timely manner for scientists, engineers,
broadcasters, manufacturers, software developers
and others involved in the delivery and playback audio contents through
broadcasting and IP based networks. It is also hoped that this special
issue will attract a broad audience in audio engineering community. Topics of interest of this special issue include but are not limited to:

Advanced audio compression and classification systemsTheory and algorithms of audio indexing and retrieval in broadcastingAudio segmentation, search, and description (language, tools)Implementation (silicon-chip, software and embedded) of standardized audio codecs and audio formats as well as their conversionsStandardization development for audio coding and indexing (MPEG family, AVS, DRM and beyond)Audio effects and enhancement in broadcasting applicationsMultichannel audio coding and transmissionsCompatibility and integration of multiple audio broadcasting standardsInternet streaming-audio quality, measurement and monitoringCombination indexing: audio, speech and visual informationWatermarking with audio coding and indexing
