Visual Content Processing and Representation

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Visual Content Processing and Representation, VLBV 2005. The 28 revised full papers presented together with 4 panel summaries were selected from 85 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers address all current issues in visual content processing techniques such as video and image analysis, representation and coding, communications and delivery, consumption, synthesis, protection, and adaptation.
