Embedded Vision A Special Issue of the Journal on Computer Vision and Image Understanding

Call for Papers

Aims and Scope

Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of embedded vision systems such as camera phones, automotive vision (automotive safety), video analytics (automated video surveillance), machine vision (quality inspection), vision-assisted robots, and medical imaging devices. Advances in computer vision algorithms, embedded processing architectures, integrated circuit technology, and electronic design methodology are enabling new ways to develop and implement computer vision algorithms, shifting from the traditional workstation to embedded systems.

This special issue is aimed at describing the advances in addressing implementation issues for vision algorithms in embedded systems. A growing community of researchers and practitioners is bridging the gap between the theory and practice, and making design choices through systematic analysis in order to meet embedded system constraints. The focus of this special issue is on research that is related to meeting design constraints such as real-time performance, power consumption, and memory requirements of an embedded camera platform.

Topics relevant to the Special Issue include:

• Analysis of computer vision problems for embedded systems (algorithmic tradeoffs that impact system design)
• Analysis of embedded systems problems for computer vision (real-time performance, power consumption, memory requirements, etc.)
• New system architectures and computation models
• Verification methods for mission-critical systems
• Embedded multiprocessor systems and reconfigurable processors (DSP, FPGA, ASIC, SoC, etc.)
• Hybrid / distributed models and architectures
• Applications of embedded computer vision
• Development tools and methodology
