Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing
The TC on Multimedia Computing (TCMC) is related to interest in all aspects of hardware and software systems that integrate a variety of different types of information such as audio and video in local, networked, and mobile computing systems. This includes the capture, creation, transmission, storage, and presentation of multimedia information; hardware and software issues that are unique to multimedia computing; development of multimedia standards, user interfaces, programming environments, and applications. The goal of the TC is to bring together practitioners and researchers interested in multimedia systems for the purpose of promoting multimedia computing technology development as well as fostering activities that will benefit the membership and the profession as a whole.
Technical Committee on Computer Generated Music
The TC on Computer Generated Music (TCCGM) addresses the interdisciplinary area lying between signal processing and artistic computer music, and is about the constructions of tools, software and hardware that can be applied to problems of computational music and musicology - an analogon to computational linguistics. The TC is for practitioners and researchers interested in projects that deal with computational aspects of music and musicology. It establishes a forum for the exchange of ideas, project results, and proposals through magazines and journals, workshops and conferences - up to the introduction of new media for publication, such as CD-ROMs and CDIs. The main goal of the TC is the promotion of Computer Generated Music everywhere, including academia and research laboratories, to give graduate students and faculty members the opportunity to investigate new topics where the emphasis, instead on quantitative issues, is on qualitative problems that have to do with common sense, intuition, aesthetics - the ultimate challenge of contemporary computer science.
The IEEE Multimedia Video Blog
Welcome to your community's new work in progress-a video blog especially for the multimedia community! At the moment it is not fully a blog yet but rather a selection of video statements.
International Conference on IP Multimedia Subsystems Architecture and Applications(IMSAA-2007)
International Conference on IP Multimedia Subsystems Architecture and Applications(IMSAA-2007) is jointly organized by International Institute of Information Technology-Bangalore(iiit-b) and IEEE Bangalore Section. This conference also been co-sponsored by leading MNCs working in the areas of Telecommunication. The conference would focus on different areas of research and development in IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS). iiit-b is a technical graduate university in the heart of the Silicon Valley of India which houses more than 1500 IT companies all around
IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia 2007
The IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM2007) is an international forum for researchers to exchange information regarding advances in the state of the art and practice of multimedia computing, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future of multimedia computing. The technical program of ISM2007 will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions. Submissions of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited.

Digital Image Warping
This best-selling, original text focuses on image reconstruction, real-time texture mapping, separable algorithms, two-pass transforms, mesh warping, and special effects. The book, containing all original material, begins with the history of the field and continues with a review of common terminology, mathematical preliminaries, and digital image acquisition. Later chapters discuss equations for spatial information, interpolation kernels, filtering problems, and fast-warping techniques based on scanline algorithms.
Graphics File Formats
Presents a comprehensive guide to the file formats used in computer graphics and related areas. The book focuses on the important basic issues for the evaluation and development of file formats. It summarizes 52 commercially used graphics file formats, such as CGM, DDES, FITS, MPEG, PICT, Postscript, TIFF, Quicktime, RIB, SunRaster, and Xbitmap. These summaries are uniformly organized to provide a handy reference source for those needing basic information on file formats.
