Technical Session - PLEN1 |
 |
| Session PLEN1: | Plenary Session I (Lecture) |
| Time and Place: | Wednesday, May 13, 8:30 am - 9:20 am, Room 4B |
| 8:30 am | PLEN1.1 Multimedia Communications N. Jayant (Bell Labs, USA); Signal Processing has shaped an impressive array of technologies, not the least of which is Multimedia, particularly audiovisual communications. As we respond to emerging businesses in high-quality signal storage, broadcasting, internetworking and natural human-machine interfaces, our capabilities in audiovisual communications are being fiercely challenged. To keep up with what the technological community seems to have promised itself, we are looking for continued advances in the core disciplines of source and channel coding, audiovisual networking and automatic systems for machine recognition and synthesis of speech and visual information. Some of the advances in these areas will come from incisive applications from the disciplines of information theory, psychophysics and audiovisual linguistics. Some of the progress will come about by pragmatic use of non-discipline-specific, compute-intensive methods such as analysis- by-synthesis and correction-by-feedback. Perhaps even more compelling than these linear advances are opportunities for interdisciplinary breakthroughs. Significant among these will be the co-design of technologies for signal compression and networking, the matching of next-generation VLSI memories and processors to algorithms for personalized communications, and the integration of database science with speech and image interface technologies in networked digital libraries. Implicit in the above prospects for multimedia communications are exciting new challenges for signal processing, as we chart the next 50 years of this celebrated discipline.
