Images have been an important propellant for the popularization of the
Internet. 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 devices drops. New applications are
appearing to take advantage of these opportunities, generating new
system requirements.
Imaging work on the Internet is a distinctive activity because of the
peculiarity of the medium on which it is built: a network of
networks. This entails complications like unpredictable latency,
caching, firewalls, security, platform heterogeneity, standardization,
and others. The pervasive nature of the medium represents a cultural
change from a culture of processing relatively few, high-quality
images, to one in which many images of unpredictable quality are
available. The cultural and technical revolution represented by
Internet images and video has only partially happened. In particular,
video is today occupying a niche on the Internet, and many problems of
integration with the other content and interactivity are still open.
This conference is intended as a forum for discussing technologies,
applications, and challenges of placing images on the Internet. 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. Special attention will be given to papers describing new
applications or presenting well argumented vision statements on
potentially revolutionary applications for images and video on the
Internet, and on how these applications will take advantage of the
opportunities and deal with the challenges of the medium. Papers are
solicited in the following areas:
· image processing for Internet, reuse of electronic and hardcopy
images: data compression and representation, coding for
multiresolution or resolution-independent images.
· content-based image and video retrieval on the network, including
semiotic, cultural, and technical issues (e.g. performance analysis --
see below).
· Internet Imaging Standards: SVG, VRML, SMIL, etc...
· virtual and mediated reality, telemedicine, remote surveillance.
· multimedia presentation on the Internet: media integration,
presentation, management, authoring.
· web cameras: their impact on video analysis technology, applications.
· systems issues: color space architectures, distributed color
management, computation for images on the Internet, automatic
printing, displays for Internet appliances, e-commerce and e-services.
· network image transport: protocols, XML applications, Web crawling,
caching, and security.
· social and legal issues for images on the Internet, including
intellectual property, content rating, watermarking, authentication,
non-repudiation, internalization, and varying cultural perception of
content.
· interactive image creation for the Internet: artistic expression.
· publishing on the Internet: graphic arts require- ments, commerce
systems, agents, image syndication, leasing, resolution and quality
re- quirements.
· classifying images: cataloging, categorization, thesauri,
iconography, ontologies, metadata.
· cultural heritage applications: image perma- nence issues, scanning
strategies, cataloging, presentation and publication strategies
· DVD-ROM vs. Internet.
Internet Imaging is the host for the Benchathlon event
(www.benchathlon.net), an open collaboration for research on the
performance analysis of content based image retrieval systems
(CBIRS). Topics of interest include but are not limited to annotation
and ground truthing, communication protocols, user models, performance
metrics, and benchmark protocols. A fast Internet connection will be
available in the conference room.
