Note publique d'information : 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
