Traditionally,signalprocessingtechniqueslayatthefoundationofmultimedia data processing and analysis. In the past few years, a new wave of advanced signal-processing techniques has delivered exciting results, increasing systems capabilities of e?ciently exchanging image data and extracting useful kno- edge from them. Signal Processing for Image Enhancement and Multimedia Processing is an edited volume, written by well-recognized international - searchers with extended chapter style versions of the best papers presented at the SITIS 2006 International Conference. This book presents the state-of-the-art and recent research results on the application of advanced signal processing techniques for improving the value of image and video data. It also discusses feature-based techniques for deep, feature-oriented analysis of images and new results on video coding on ti- honored topic of securing image information. Signal Processing for Image - hancement and Multimedia Processing is designed for a professional audience composedofpractitionersandresearchersinindustry.Thisvolumeisalsosu- able as a reference or secondary text for advanced-level students in computer science and engineering. The chapters included in this book are a selection of papers presented at the Signal and Image Technologies track of the international SITIS 2006 c- ference. The authors were asked to revise and extend their contributions to take into account the many challenges and remarks discussed at the conf- ence. A large number of high quality papers were submitted to SITIS 2006, demonstrating the growing interest of the research community for image and multimedia processing.

The JPEG 2000 Suite provides a comprehensive overview of the baseline JPEG 2000 standard and its extensions. The first part of the book sets out the core coding system, additions to the standard and reference software. The second part discusses the successful deployment of JPEG 2000 in application domains such as video surveillance, digital cinema, digital television, medical imaging, defence imaging, security, geographic imaging and remote sensing, digital culture imaging and 3D graphics. The book also presents implementation strategies accompanied by existing software and hardware solutions. Describes secure JPEG 2000 (JPSEC), interactivity protocols (JPIP), volumetric image data compression (JP3D) and image compression in wireless environments (JPWL), amongst others.Uses a structure which allows for easy cross-reference with the components of the standard.Sets out practical implementation examples and results.Examines strategies for future image compression techniques, including Advanced Image Coding and JPEG XR. Includes contributions from international specialists in industry and academia who have worked on the development of the JPEG 2000 standard.Additional material can be found at www.jpeg.org.The JPEG 2000 Suite is an excellent introduction to the JPEG 2000 standard and is of great appeal to practising electronics engineers, researchers, and hardware and software developers using and developing image coding techniques. Graduate students taking courses on image compression, digital archiving, and data storage techniques will also find the book useful, as will graphic designers, artists, and decision makers in industries developing digital applications.

In recent years, Moore's law has fostered the steady growth of the field of digital image processing, though the computational complexity remains a problem for most of the digital image processing applications. In parallel, the research domain of optical image processing has matured, potentially bypassing the problems digital approaches were suffering and bringing new applications. The advancement of technology calls for applications and knowledge at the intersection of both areas but there is a clear knowledge gap between the digital signal processing and the optical processing communities. This book covers the fundamental basis of the optical and image processing techniques by integrating contributions from both optical and digital research communities to solve current application bottlenecks, and give rise to new applications and solutions. Besides focusing on joint research, it also aims at disseminating the knowledge existing in both domains. Applications covered include image restoration, medical imaging, surveillance, holography, etc..."a very good book that deserves to be on the bookshelf of a serious student or scientist working in these areas."Source: Optics and Photonics News
