2011 Computational Color Imaging Workshop

Milano,
Italy, 20 21 April, 2011

The third Computational Color Imaging Workshop will be held in Milano, Italy, April 20-21, 2011. The previous editions were organized with the endorsement of GIRPR and IAPR.

Submission procedure:

Prospective authors should format and submit a PDF version of their manuscript according to the instructions which will be published at the end of September 2010 at the workshop website.

All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Accepted papers will be included in the CCIW 2011 proceedings. Submission implies that at least one author per paper will register and present the paper at the workshop.

Planning this workshop, the organizers would like to focus on the methods and applications of digital color image processing and analysis. The workshop is intended for researchers and practitioners in the digital imaging, multimedia, visual communications, computer vision, and consumer electronic industry, who are interested in the fundamentals of color image processing and its emerging applications. Papers of current interest are invited to any of the areas listed bellow:

• Computational color vision models

• Perceptual color image processing

• Color data compression and encoding

• Color image/video indexing and retrieval

• Semantic analysis of color images

• Color image filtering and enhancement

• Digital color image content protection

• Color image/video quality assessment

• Multi-spectral/color image analysis

• Spatiotemporal color interaction modelling

• Color from science to art

• Color-based facial image analysis

• Applications and future trends

Important dates:

·Paper submission deadline: December 1, 2010

·Notification: February 15, 2011

·Camera-ready papers: April 1, 2011

·Workshop: April 20-21, 2011

Special Issue on:Emerging Methods for Color Image and Video Quality Enhancement

Call for Papers

Digital color imaging devices, ranging from the low-end camera phones to the
high-end digital cinema cameras, are ubiquitous in the current e-world. The
image/video quality, including the color fidelity, resolution, signal-to-noise
ratio, and sharpness, is among the most common concerns of the consumers.
Therefore, how to improve the quality of digital images/videos is an important
topic in both academia and industry. In the recent years, many new image
processing techniques, such as nonlocal means, collaborative filtering, sparse
coding, and dictionary learning, have been proposed. These techniques can
provide new solutions to the resolution and quality enhancement of color images
and videos.

The main focus of this special issue will be on the recent advances in theory
and algorithm for color image and video quality enhancement. We welcome authors
to submit their original research articles or comprehensive reviews in the
related areas. This special issue is expected to be an effective channel for
researches to report their latest results and findings in color image and video
processing and propose new ideas and directions for the future development. The
topics include, but are not limited to:

     * Nonlocal techniques in color image/video processing
     * Sparse coding and dictionary learning for color image/video processing
     * Inpainting, interpolation, and superresolution
     * Multiframe acquisition and merging
     * Image sequence processing and video stabilization
     * Color demosaicking and temporal color demosaicking
     * Color cross-talk reduction
     * Color enhancement by semantic analysis of scene content
     * Color processing and enhancement for embedded systems
     * Bioinspired color image/video processing methods
     * Full-reference, reduced-reference, and no-reference color image/video
quality assessment

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author
Guidelines, which are located at
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ivp/guidelines.html. Prospective authors should
submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal
Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following
timetable:

     Manuscript Due     April 1, 2010
     First Round of Reviews     July 1, 2010
     Publication Date   October 1, 2010
