✦ Synopsis

Traditionally, signal processing techniques lay at the foundation of multimedia data processing and analysis. In the past few years, a new wave of advanced signal-processing techniques has delivered exciting results, increasing system's capabilities of efficiently exchanging image data and extracting useful knowledge.

Signal Processing for Image Enhancement and Multimedia Processing is written by global experts who have extended the best papers presented at the SITIS 2006 International Conference to chapter versions. This edited book presents research results on the application of advanced signal processing techniques for improving the value of image and video data. In addition, this volume includes discussions on feature-based techniques for deep, feature-oriented analysis of images, plus new results on video coding on the time-honored topic of securing image information.

Signal Processing for Image Enhancement and Multimedia Processing is designed for a professional audience of practitioners and researchers in industry. It is also suitable as a reference or secondary text for advanced-level students in computer science and engineering.
