Multimedia data are used more and more widely in human being's
life, e.g., videoconferencing, visual telephone, IPTV, etc. Nearly
most of the applications need multimedia transmission techniques
that send multimedia data from one side to another side and keep
the properties of efficiency, robustness and security. Here, the
efficiency denotes the time cost of transmission operations, the
robustness denotes the ability to survive transmission errors or
noises, and the security denotes the protection of the transmitted
media content. Recently, various intelligent or innovative
techniques are invented, which bring vast performance improvements
to practical applications. For example, such content transmission
techniques as p2p, sensor network and ad hoc network are
constructed, which adaptively use the peers' properties to improve
the network's resources. Multimedia adaptation techniques can
adjust the multimedia data rate in order to compliant with the
network's bandwidth. Scalable encryption techniques can generate
the data stream that can be correctly decrypted after bit rate
conversion. Ubiquitous multimedia services make the user share any
kind of content anywhere. The book includes fourteen chapters
highlighting current concepts, issues and emerging technologies.
Distinguished scholars from many prominent research institutions
around the world contribute to the book. The book covers various
aspects, including not only some fundamental knowledge and the
latest key techniques, but also typical applications and open
issues. For example, the covered topics include the present and
future video coding standards, stereo and multiview coding
techniques, free-viewpoint TV techniques, wireless broadcasting
techniques, media streaming techniques, wireless media transmission
techniques and systems, and User-Generated Content sharing.
The portable device and mobile phone market has witnessed rapid
growth in the last few years with the emergence of several
revolutionary products such as mobile TV, converging iPhone and
digital cameras that combine music, phone and video functionalities
into one device. The proliferation of this market has further
bene?ted from the competition in software and applications for
smart phones such as Google's Android operating system and Apple's
iPhone App- Store, stimulating tens of thousands of mobile
applications that are made ava- able by individual and enterprise
developers. Whereas the mobile device has become ubiquitous in
people's daily life not only as a cellular phone but also as a
media player, a mobile computing device, and a personal assistant,
it is p- ticularly important to address challenges timely in
applying advanced pattern recognition, signal, information and
multimedia processing techniques, and new emerging networking
technologies to such mobile systems. The primary objective of this
book is to foster interdisciplinary discussions and research in
mobile multimedia processing techniques, applications and s- tems,
as well as to provide stimulus to researchers on pushing the
frontier of emerging new technologies and applications. One attempt
on such discussions was the organization of the First Int- national
Workshop of Mobile Multimedia Processing (WMMP 2008), held in
Tampa, Florida, USA, on December 7, 2008. About 30 papers were
submitted from10countriesacrosstheUSA, Asia andEurope.
