EURASIP JOURNAL ON IMAGE AND VIDEO PROCESSING SPECIAL ISSUE ON IMAGE AND VIDEO PROCESSING FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------- Digital imaging and 3D modeling are nowadays extensively employed to capture, conserve, describe, and render cultural artifacts such as buildings and monuments, archaeological sites, artworks, manuscripts, books, and other objects of artistic, historical or archaeological interest. Computer vision, graphics, image and signal processing are essential instruments for virtual and physical restoration, analysis, and documentation of the artifact content. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the access and study of our cultural heritage by the public and scholars alike and to ensure its preservation for the future. Visual processing of cultural heritage data does not merely exploit and apply standard techniques, but often entails original research specific to this domain. The creation of digital libraries, delivering to the users' content that fits their needs, requires the development of powerful indexing and retrieval tools and creates a need for protection against improper usage and preservation of integrity and authenticity. The often low quality and high complexity of the content requires multimodal acquisition to enrich documentation, recover masked information, and facilitate analysis. This special issue aims to address these challenging issues. High-quality, original contributions on the following (non exhaustive) list of topics are solicited: * High resolution 2D and 3D digital representations, correction of degradations and quality evaluation * Multimodal, multiresolution, and HDR imaging; data registration and fusion * Signal, image processing, and 3D modeling to assist physical restoration * Extraction, recognition, classification, and enhancement of features, structures, and contents * Digital restoration of damaged artworks (films, photographs, paintings, frescos, manuscripts, etc.) * Storage, handling, transmission, processing, and visualization of large datasets * Visualization of archaeological sites: temporal evolution, uncertainty in the model, GIS layers * Large-scale multimedia databases of artworks; archival, indexing, and retrieval; copyright and IPR management * Automatic artist/creator or artistic style recognition, detection of forgery/fakes, and dating of artwork * User-centered visual applications for museums, digital art repositories, and edutainment (VR, AR, etc.) Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ivp/guidelines.html .
