MMSP 2017
2017 IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing
October 16-18, 2017, London-Luton, UK

CALL FOR PAPERS
MMSP 2017 is the IEEE 19th International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing. The
workshop is organized by the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE
Signal Processing Society. This year's event has a theme of 'Multimedia Processing for
Healthcare and Assisted Living'.
Recent advances in multimedia processing and communications have potential to significantly
advance current healthcare and assisted living services by enabling remote health monitoring,
remote diagnostics, increased patient privacy, robotic-assisted surgery, and home-based
treatment. A huge diversity of multimedia processing techniques, ranging from image/audio
sensing, compression and networking, denoising, feature extraction, security, distributed
processing, depth image processing, cloud and social computing, visualization and multimedia
big data analytics, can all find their applications in future healthcare and elderly-care. However,
to fully realize this potential and embed multimedia solutions into day-to-day healthcare
practice, many challenges need to be overcome that call for significant engineering innovation,
which can only happen through close interdisciplinary effort. The MMSP-2017 Workshop will
bring together experts from different fields, including signal processing, computer science,
communications, medicine, rehabilitation, psychology, to exchange ideas on how multimedia
research can support advancements of future healthcare and how best to facilitate interactions
between multimedia researchers and healthcare and assisted living providers.
Papers are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas, covering not only this year's
workshop theme, but also the general scope of multimedia signal processing:
