Call for papers for SPECIAL SESSION ON
EMBEDDED PROCESSING AND SMART CAMERA


Submission deadline: Around 10th of april, 2011

Smart cameras combine video sensing, processing, and communication on a
single embedded platform. Networks of smart cameras are real-time
distributed embedded systems that perform computer vision using multiple
cameras. This new approach has emerged thanks to a confluence of
simultaneous advances in four key disciplines: computer vision, image
sensors, embedded computing, and sensor networks. Recently these visual
sensor networks have gained a lot of interest in research and industry;
applications include surveillance, assisted living and smart
environments. This special session focuses on the "embedded aspects" of
smart cameras and smart camera networks. Since these networks represent
large, resource-constraint, distributed embedded systems, they may serve
as challenging platforms for innovative embedded systems research. The
development of computer vision components (HW and SW) in smart cameras
is a particularly challenging task. The nature of embedded devices
limits the computational power available to the applications. The
limitations of the memory and I/O systems are often more severe since
they hinder the processing of large image data. Implementing and
debugging on an embedded device pose several challenges --- particularly
when computation is outsourced to a FPGA and/or DSP.

The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers and
practitioners working in the area of embedded image porcessing, smart
camera, HW and SW architecture for vision. We are soliciting
original contributions, which address a wide range of theoretical and
practical
issues related to the early stages of the embedded image processing
including, but not limited to:
* embedded computer vision
* Digital Camera Image Processing
* Dedicated architecture for vision (FPGA, DSP,...)
* Analysis of computer vision problems that are specific to embedded
systems.
* Analysis of embedded systems problems that are specific to computer
vision.
*Embedded computer vision for robotics
*New trends in programmable processors and their computational models.
*Applications of embedded computer vision on platforms e.g. GPUs
(embedded and mobile).
*Applications of embedded computer vision on mobile phones.
*Applications of embedded computer vision on reconfigurable platforms
such as FPGAs.
*Applications of embedded computer vision on programmable platforms DSPs
and multicore SoC such as the Cell Processor.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of no more than 6-7 pages
including results, figures and references. In submitting a manuscript to
ICDSC 2011, the authors acknowledge that no paper substantially similar
in content has been or will be submitted to another conference during
the ICDSC 2011 review period.
