CALL FOR PAPERS
PACKET VIDEO WORKSHOP 2016
The 22rd International Packet Video
Workshop (PV 2016) is devoted to presenting technological advancements, innovations,
and novel applications in video and multimedia transmission and processing over
packet networks. PV 2016 will be held in conjunction with ICME 2016, July
11-15, 2016. In particular, this
rendition of PV will feature two themes in line with current major academic and
industry trends:
1.
Immersive video: The proliferation of head-mounted display
devices capable of rendering in real-time virtual 3D scenes has paved the path
for the network delivery of immersive content. The research challenges here lie
in the acquisition, representation, transmission, and reconstruction of such visual
content. For example, the dimension of immersive
media data at a server (e.g., light field, Multiview videos) can far exceed the
dimension of the output image display (e.g., one 2D image at a time on a
conventional 2D display) for human observation. Clearly transmitting the entire
volume of high-dimensional data to the client when only a small data subset is
visualized is inefficient. The research problem is thus how to structure the
coding, extraction and streaming of high-dimensional media data in such a way
that the client can seamlessly and interactively navigate the media space,
requesting one media data subset at a time for correct decoding and rendering.
2.
Real-time in-network big media analytics: the
ubiquity of surveillance cameras and popularity of on-demand videos (e.g.,
Netflix, Hulu) have made video the “biggest big data” in today’s packet
networks. To maintain system scalability despite the video data explosion,
processing media in-network in real-time is essential so that only important
data are extracted and summarized while extraneous data can be delayed or
filtered. The research challenge is thus to enable application-specific
in-network media filtering to maintain system scalability, while preserving
data security, personal privacy and deployability.
Paper submissions related to the two themes or
other general video streaming topics below are strongly encouraged. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Interactive high-dimensional image data navigation
· Real-time in-network big media analytics
· Immersive video and augmented reality
· Large scale multimedia processing and distribution via cloud computing
· Media streaming over Internet/wireless networks
· Interactive video applications
· Peer-to-Peer systems
· Network coding and error correction for multimedia communications
· Multi-terminal media communications
· Quality assessment for multimedia communication
· Cross-layer optimization of multimedia systems
· Error resilient video coding and transport
· Error concealment and post-processing
· Tele-collaboration and tele-presence
· Standards for multimedia communication and related issues
· Network gaming and graphical communication
· Security, privacy, and protection for multimedia delivery
Special
sessions
· Immersive video: papers related to theme 1
· Real-time in-network media analytics: papers related to theme 2
Paper format
Prospective authors are invited to submit an electronic version of full papers, in PDF format, up to 6 printed pages in length (double column). Papers accepted by PV2016 will be presented in the PV workshop of ICME 2016 (http://www.ICME2016.org/) and included in the IEEE Xplore. The attendees of ICME are very welcome to submit their papers to PV 2016. More information can be found at (http://www.eecs.oregonstate.edu/~thinhq/pv2016)
