We are facing an exploding growth of image and multimedia signal processing in these recent years. These advancements are induced by new generation of computations, i.e. deep neural computing and learning representation approaches. The deep learning drives to a new trend in the computer vision task, image/signal, as well as multimedia processing. The image and multimedia signal processing allow wider range of algorithm developments into some advanced applications. It enables us to access and exploit some useful information from imaging data. Despite of enhancing the quality of imaging data, we are also able to perform high level cognitive tasks such as classification, recognition and analysis of multimedia data.
Intelligent algorithms profoundly change the way of tackling and solving a rich variety of challenging problems in the image and multimedia signal processing. This new paradigm exploits some “intelligent” or “model-free” techniques for solving the complex problems or even poorly formalized using mathematical model. The intelligent algorithm overcomes this aforementioned problem by simply using the automated generated features obtained from learning process. The generated features, somehow, are more robust compared to that of the human hand-crafted and engineered features. This special session offers a forum for scientists and researchers to disseminate the emerging research fronts precipitated, but not limited to the following cores:
• Deep learning
• Learning representation
