Special Issue on "Visual Understanding and Applications with RGB-D Cameras"

Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation (JVCI)



The prevalence of affordable RGB-D cameras, such as Microsoft's Kinect and ASUS's Xtion Pro Live Sensors, is driving a revolution of the landscape of computer vision and vision related research. The pixel-level depth and visual (RGB) information provided by a RGB-D camera not only enables robust vision applications but also opens up new research problems and opportunities across a wide range of areas including 3D perception, robotics, human machine interactions, and intelligent surveillance. Since the first release of Microsoft Kinect sensors in November 2010, we have witnessed a rapid growth of research in visual understanding and applications with RBG-D cameras.

The aim of this special issue is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions in the area of visual understanding and applications using RGB-D cameras. The issue will provide a convincing forum for researchers and practitioners to disseminate their latest research results.

Scope

This special issue covers all aspects of visual understanding and applications using RGB-D cameras. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

*         Sensor technology, calibration and data pre-processing

*         Shape analysis, matching and spatial inference

*         Depth fusion, 3D reconstruction and modelling

*         Object description, detection, tracking and recognition

*         Human detection, tracking and activity understanding

*         Gesture recognition and biometrics

*         Human-machine interactions

*         Scene understanding and segmentation

*         Navigation, localization, SLAM and semantic mapping

*         Augmented reality

*         Annotation and retrieval of RGB-D data

*         Perception for mobile manipulation in robotics

*         Semantics for long-term operation in dynamic environments

*         Empirical studies and benchmark datasets

*         Industrial applications
