Goal and Background

The first ITG/VDE Graduate Summer School on Image Communication and Image Processing aims at providing a forum for informal knowledge exchange and discussion of innovative research ideas among doctoral students working in the field of image and video communication and image signal processing. The atmosphere of the summer school is intended to be very informal and less restrictive than a typical workshop or conference, thus stimulating discussions and inspiring joint research among the participating PhD students. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Techniques for next generation image and video coding
• Representation, analysis, and transmission of 3D video
• Signal processing for future visual communication
• Technology for video transmission and networked systems
• Architecture and implementation aspects

Contributions should focus on novel research aspects, but do not have to provide unpublished material. Presentations, posters, or demos should rather give an overview of the participant's research fields including challenges, open topics, and problems in current research. The aim is to bring together young researchers with similar topics and provide a basis for fruitful scientific discussions, motivating future cooperation.
