Mobile Multimedia Processing

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 particularly 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 15 articles in this state-of-the-art survey foster interdisciplinary
discussions and research in mobile multimedia processing techniques,
applications and systems, and bring stimulus to researchers on pushing
the frontier of emerging new technologies and applications.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings
of the First International Workshop on Mobile Multimedia Processing,
WMMP 2008, held in Tampa, FL, USA, in December 2008, in conjunction with
ICPR 2008, the 19th International Conference on Pattern Recognition. The
papers went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and are
organized in topical sections on accessibility and learning, server
assisted adaptation and networking applications, entertainment, face and
speech processing, and development environment.
