IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Signal Processing
Special Issue on Interactive Media Processing for Immersive Communication

Interpersonal communication is an essential and intrinsic element of the
human way of life. Yet, for interpersonal communication among individuals
connected via high-speed data networks, the prevalent technologies are
limited to exchanging 2D video and audio captured by a single camera and
microphone. These technologies fail to provide a level of immersivity
necessary for "in the same room" sense of presence, due to limitations
such as gaze mismatch and lack of depth perception in the rendered scene.

With the recent advances in sensing technologies and accompanying data
analysis tools, one can now acquire a large collection of media data
describing both the sender’s physical environment (e.g., texture/depth
images and audio captured from arrays of cameras and microphones) and the
manner in which the sender is perceiving the presented media (e.g., gaze
& head movements). This means that although the viewer’s display
capabilities may remain limited (e.g., 2D display, stereo speakers), the
sense of immersion can be greatly enhanced through innovative
human-centric interaction with the presented media (e.g., gazed-corrected
view, seamless view-switching and/or spatial audio corresponding to
viewer’s tracked head position, haptic vibrations in response to loud
audio events). This enhanced media interaction must be designed within
the context of delay- and loss-prone networks for delivery of
delay-sensitive data, towards the ultimate goal of improving immersive
communication beyond 2D video communication. In particular, the main
technical challenges are: i) efficient acquisition and processing of
observer’s sensory data, ii) compact/robust representation of media data
for network transport given the receiver’s current patterns of media
consumption and display limitations, iii) real-time human-centric media
interaction for an enriched immersive experience. Further, evaluation
methodologies and metrics for immersive communication systems must be
subjectively accurate for the range of systems deploying multiple sensory
input and output devices.

We invite authors to address aspects of immersive communication related to
interactive media processing, such as the following. Please note that
submission of pure video compression papers with no direct connection to
media interaction is not encouraged.

* Interactive Visual Communication (e.g., efficient view switching systems
  enabling motion parallax, 3D visual representation with desirable
  properties like flexible decoding, robustness, etc.).
* Acquisition & Reconstruction of Media Data for Immersivity (e.g., depth
  data acquisition and pre-processing, microphone array design for spatial
  audio, hybrid approaches to depth estimation, gaze/head tracking and
  prediction).
* Multi-modal Media Interaction (e.g., multi-modal responses to detected
  communication events, visual interaction (defocusing, saliency-based
  content adaptation) based on gaze patterns and/or pupil size).
* Streaming/Transport of Immersive Media Data (e.g., media-specific,
  delay-sensitive FEC, multiple descriptions for multi-path transmission,
  multi-modal loss concealment strategies).
* Applications of Immersive Communication (e.g., systems for
  tele-medicine/education, immersive video conferencing).
* Quality Issues in Immersive Communication (e.g., evaluation
  methodologies and metrics for immersive systems).
