International Journal of Image and Video Processing

Special Issue on

Image and Video Processing for Disability

Call for Papers

New technologies represent a great opportunity for the improvement of life and independent living of the disabled and elder people. Over the last decade, active researches have produced novel algorithms for blind, deaf, mute people or for people with severe motor disabilities. These researches are strongly related with the development of new dedicated systems for human-computer interactions.

Whatever the kind of handicap, image processing can provide a significant help for disability compensation to avoid the gap increasing between disabled and nondisabled people with respect to the new technologies.

Researches for new systems for disabled people are multidisciplinary research from engineering sciences (computer science, HCI, automatic, electronics, etc.) and human sciences (psychology, cognition, etc.). Here we are focusing on researches involving image and video processing for disability. However, multimodal signals-based systems can be considered.

The goal of this special issue is to provide original contributions in the field of image and video processing for disability.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

o Eye-gaze analysis and interpretation o Head motion analysis o Human behavior modeling o HCI for disabled people o Hand-gesture analysis and interpretation o Sign language recognition o Modality replacement o Multimodal systems for disabled o Facial expressions interpretation

In each case, works should be related to an application dedicated to disabled or elder people's help.
