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
