This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Symposium on Visual Computing, ISVC 2005, held in Lake Tahoe, NV, USA in December 2005. The 33 revised full papers and 26 poster papers presented together with 5 keynote presentations and 1 invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. The papers are rounded off by 32 presentations held at seven special tracks. The papers cover the four main areas of visual computing: vision, graphics, visualization, and virtual reality. Topics addressed are computer graphics, medical imaging, computer vision methods for ambient intelligence, virtual reality and medicine, pattern analysis and recognition applications in biometrics, visualization, mediated reality, visual surveillance in challenging environments, low level vision, encoding and compression, segmentation, recognition and reconstruction, motion, text extraction and retrieval, intelligent vehicles and autonomous navigation, and visualization techniques in geophysical science.
Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2010 International Conference on Advanced Measurement and Test (AMT 2010), May 15-16, 2010, Sanya, P.R. China.
Presently, in our world, visual information dominates. The turn of the millenium marks the age of visual information systems. Enabled by picture sensors of all kinds turning digital, visual information will not only enhance the value of existing information, it will also open up a new horizon of previously untapped information sources. There is a huge demand for visual information access from the consumer. As well, the handling of visual information is boosted by the rapid increase of hardware and Internet capabilities. Advanced technology for visual information systems is more urgently needed than ever before: not only new computational methods to retrieve, index, compress and uncover picto...
Current research in Visual Database Systems can be characterized by scalability, multi-modality of interaction, and higher semantic levels of data. Visual interfaces that allow users to interact with large databases must scale to web and distributed applications. Interaction with databases must employ multiple and more diversified interaction modalities, such as speech and gesture, in addition to visual exploitation. Finally, the basic elements managed in modern databases are rapidly evolving, from text, images, sound, and video, to compositions and now annotations of these media, thus incorporating ever-higher levels and different facets of semantics. In addition to visual interfaces and mu...
