Wavelets in Source Coding, Communications, and Networks Call for Papers

Wavelet transforms are arguably the most powerful, and most widely-used, tool to arise in the field of signal processing in the last several decades. Their inherent capacity for multiresolution representation akin to the operation of the human visual system motivated a quick adoption and widespread use of wavelets in image-processing applications. Indeed, wavelet-based algorithms have dominated image compression for over a decade, and wavelet-based source coding is now emerging in other domains. For example, recent wavelet-based video coders exploit techniques such as motion-compensated temporal filtering to yield effective video compression with full temporal, spatial, and fidelity scalability. Additionally, wavelets are increasingly used in the source coding of remote-sensing, satellite, and other geospatial imagery. Furthermore, wavelets are starting to be deployed beyond the source-coding realm with increased interest in robust communication of images and video over both wired and wireless networks. In particular, wavelets have been recently proposed for joint source-channel coding and multiple-description coding. This special issue will explore these and other latest advances in the theory and application of wavelets.

Specifically, this special issue will gather high-quality, original contributions on all aspects of the application of wavelets and wavelet theory to the source coding, communication, and network transmission of images and video. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the theory and applications of wavelets in:

* Scalable image and video coding * Motion-compensated temporal filtering * Source coding of images and video via frames and overcomplete representations * Geometric and adaptive multiresolution image and video representations * Multiple-description coding of images and video * Joint source-channel coding of images and video * Distributed source coding of images and video * Robust coding of images and video for wired and wireless packet networks * Network adaption and transcoding of images and video * Coding and communication of images and video in sensor networks
