Special Issue on
Advanced Video Technologies and Applications for H.264/AVC and Beyond
Call for Papers
The recently developed video coding standard H.264/MPEG-4 AVC significantly outperforms previous standards in terms of coding efficiency at reasonable implementation complexity and costs in VLSI realization. Real-time H.264 coders will be available very soon. Many applications, such as surveillance systems with multiple video channel recording, multiple channel video services for mobile devices, will benefit from the H.264 coder due to its excellent coding efficiency. The new video coding technology introduces new opportunities for video services and applications. However, advanced video coding is only one aspect for successful video services and applications. To enable successful new applications, additional technologies to cope with time-varying channel behaviors and diverse usage characteristics are needed. For serving multiple videos, some extended designs such as joint rate-distortion optimization and scheduling of multiple parallel video sessions are also required to achieve fair and robust video storage and delivery. For video surveillance systems, intelligent video content analysis and scalabilities in video quality, resolution, and display area, coupled with wireless transmission, can offer new features for the application. Finally, computational complexity reduction and low-power design of video codecs as well as content protection of video streams are particularly important for mobile devices.
The goal of this special issue is to discuss state-of-the-art techniques to enable various video services and applications on H.264/AVC technologies and their new developments.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
o Video over DVB-H o Error resilience of video over mobile networks o Video delivery in multiuser environments o Rate-distortion optimization for multiple video sources o Multipath delivery of video streams o Optimization of video codecs for quality improvement and power reduction o Security and content protection of video streams o Transcoding techniques o Scalable video o Other advanced video coding technologies o Video quality measures
