Abstract :
Multimedia technologies will profoundly change the way we access information, conduct business, communicate, educate, learn, and entertain. Multimedia technologies also represent a new opportunity for research interactions among a variety of media such as speech, audio, image, video, text, and graphics. As digitization of image/video have become more affordable, supported with a much richer environment of connectivity and accessibility, computer and web database systems are starting to store voluminous image/video data. This paper addresses emerging research fronts precipitated by such an ultra-scale information processing application and technology: Multimedia Signal Processing Technologies; Neural Networks for Intelligent Multimedia Processing; Video Object Plane (VOP) Extraction and Representation; Implementation of Multimedia Processors
