Images have been the main propellant for the Internet's popularization.
Expectations for performance and quality of images are driving new
technologies as the space of web-connected business and commercial imaging
solutions grows and as the cost of Web access and high quality reproduction
hardcopy devices drops. Concomitantly, users are shifting towards wireless
clients with Spartan network bandwidth and display sizes. New applications
are appearing to take advantage of these opportunities, and exposing new
system requirements.
Internet imaging is different from other imaging applications because an
internet is a network of networks. This entails complications like
unpredictable bandwidth, latency, caching, firewalls, security, platform
heterogeneity, standardization, and others. Furthermore, images can be
still images, animations, or video sequences.
This conference is intended as a forum for discussing these technologies,
applications, and challenges facing them. The participants will present the
most recent developments in the appropriate representation, communication,
and rendering of images using the Internet. Focus of the conference is on
novel means of image capture, coding, computation and representation
specific to the Internet, efficient transport of images over networks,
display and rendering of image received over networks, and the requirements
of applications which derive value from the use of these technologies.
Unmet needs of desired applications are also relevant. Algorithms,
protocols, software, hardware, communications systems, and applications are
appropriate topics.
Papers are solicited in the following areas, and special attention is given
to new applications and requirements created by opportunities on the Internet:
image processing for Internet, reuse of softcopy and hardcopy
images =97 data compression and representation, coding for multiresolution or
resolution=96independent images
imaging issues in content=96based indexing, search and
retrieval, indexing video
virtual and augmented reality, telemedicine, data visualization,
remote surveillance
Internet video, multimedia presentation on the Internet =97
multimedia integration, presentation, management, authoring, animation,
SMIL, SVG, VRML, Interactive TV, multimedia presentation formats,
presentation agents, and e=96commerce multimedia applications
systems issues: color space architectures, distributed color
management, computation for images on the Internet, automatic
printing, displays for Internet appliances, e=96commerce and
e=96services
network image transport: protocols, XML applications, Web crawling,
caching, and security
network computing: distributed computing, performance analysis,
benchmarks for contents based image retrieval (CBIR), MRML, fault
tolerance & failure recovery, media synchronization, transaction
managers, directory & agent services, wireless Internet
social and legal issues and technical solutions for the Internet
including privacy, copyright, content rating, watermarking,
authentication, non=96repudiation, and notification
interactive image creation for the Internet =97 artistic
impression, Web design, special issues for video, semiotics, advanced
man=96machine interfacing, visual languages, ergonometry, user models
for CBIR
publishing on the Internet: graphic arts requirements, commerce
systems, agents, image syndication, leasing, resolution and quality
requirements, movie film digitatization and color restoration,
palettization, file formats, capture systems
classifying images: perceptual organization, cataloging,
categorization, thesauri, iconography, ontologies, metadata, XML
solutions, video summarization
cultural heritage applications: image permanence issues,
scanning strategies, cataloging, presentation and publication
strategies, DVD=96ROM vs. Internet.
A fast Internet connection will be available in the auditorium. In
deciding where to submit their papers, potential authors are advised
to also consider such closely related EI 2002 conferences like Human
Vision and Electronic Imaging, Storage and Retrieval for Media
Databases, Security and Watermarking of Multimedia Contents, and Color
Imaging: Device=96Independent Color, Color Hardcopy, and Graphic Arts.
