IMDSP Electronic Newsletter Vol. 2, No. 4 Editor: Joel Trussell, (hjt@ecehjt.ncsu.edu) ********************************************************************** Contents: Policy and Purpose New subscribers to newsletter People on the Move Journal Tables of Contents Call for Papers ********************************************************************** Policy and Purpose The purpose of this newsletter is to keep the multidimensional signal processing and image processing community informed of current events and publications in the areas. One of the major tasks of this newsletter is to list the Tables of Contents of the most important journals in our area. This will be of great benefit to those of us who don't subscribe to a long list of journals and don't go to the library as often as we should to look through the current issues of non-IEEE journals. Lists of titles and authors from sessions at conferences are also appropriate in this regard. The tables of contents are contributed by individuals. If you see a journal that is missing from the newsletter that you find useful, please consider contributing its contents to the newsletter. A second function is timely communication of news events, news of new hardware or software, notes of popular magazine or newspaper articles of interest, News of people in the MDSP area (awards, moves), etc. Since the newsletter is composed almost totally of contributed items, it is up to the readership to provide desired information to the editor. The editor will use his judgement as to the proper length and appropriateness of contibutions. The ToCs in this newsletter include: IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (no new issue) IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence IEEE Transactions on Video Technology Optical Engineering Journal of the Optical Society Journal of Electronic Imaging SMPTE Journal Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing Missing from this list are: IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Signal Processing CVGIP ********************************************************************** New subscribers: las@research.att.com (Larry Shepp, ATT Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ) yipratik@etro.vub.ac.be (Yiannis Pratikakis, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium) nil@basant.ee.iitb.ernet.in (K.Sunil Kumar,Indian Inst of Tech, BOMBAY,India) smita@clix.com (Smita Gupta, Compression Labs, San Jose, CA) joans@upisun1.uab.es (Juan Serrat-Gual, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra, Spain) LIANGHL%BEPC3@SCS.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU (Liang Hualou, Inst. of High Energy Physics, ACADEMIA SINICA, Peking, P.R.CHINA) tranden@hsr.no (Trygve Randen, Rogaland University Center, Stavanger, Norway) shein@zfe.siemens.de (Soren Hein, Siemens Central Research, Munich, Germany) GTELECKI@jwiley.com (George J.

[One of the benefits of serial digital audio and video is the ability to multiplex AES/EBU digital audio with a serial digital video signal. As a result, a single coaxial cable carrying serial component digital video will accommodate up to 12 channels of digital audio. On the other hand, a single coax carrying composite NTSC and PAL digital video will support up to four channels of digital audio. This multiplexed signal can be easily distributed around a facility using existing video patch panels or a serial digital video routing switcher In addition, other ancillary data, such as time code and source identification information, can also be multiplexed into the same serial digital bit stream. Once these signals have been multiplexed and distributed, it may be necessary to demultiplex the digital audio and other ancillary data from the video to treat those signals independently. This is particularly important in post-production. SMPTE has proposed an audio digital standard, Formatting AES/EBU Audio and Auxiliary Data into Digital Video Ancillary Data Space, which is in committee. The AES audio format is AES3-1992, and is referred to as ''AES,'' or a 20-bit subset thereof. Details of the proposed specification are described in this article. Also discussed are practical multiplexers and demultiplexers, systems issues such as audio/video timing, and considerations for distribution of AES/EBU audio via twisted shielded pair audio cable versus video coaxial cable.] SMPTE J, V102 10, OCT 93, p905-909, Applying Constrained Optimization to Computer Graphics, Goldsmith J & Barr AH, p910-912. [For many years, objects in computer-generated animation moved only as an animator moved them. In the last few years, physically-based modeling techniques have demonstrated that more attractive and realistic-seeming motion can be created by subjecting objects to forces and constraints and making the objects move as they would in a physical environment. Sometimes the environment is under- or over-constrained. In these cases, numerical optimization is used to find the best movement path the objects, where ''best'' is evaluated according to user-specified criteria. This article discusses some of the previous results using this technique, identifies some future uses, including some that are likely to become commonplace in a few years, and describes numerical methods to solve these problems.] SMPTE J, V102 10, OCT 93, p910-912 The First 20 Years of HDTV: 1972-1992, [editorial], Krivocheev MI & Baron SN, p913-930. [Large-screen, high-definition television (HDTV) and high-resolution imaging (HRI) have become the subject of increasing public interest. Work under way in the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR)1,2 branch of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)3 Since 1972 has focused on establishing standards for high-definition production and the international exchange of programs, as well as the study of the methods of emission of high-definition television signals for terrestrial and satellite broadcasting. The work in the field of HDTV was assigned to Study Group 11 (television broadcasting), chaired by Mark I. Krivocheev (Russian Federation). This article is intended to serve as an information source for students of the communications industry, to preserve the historical heritage of the industry, and to contribute to the understanding of the development of HDTV. The author provides a brief historical overview focusing on the development of HDTV, using CCIR documents as the basis of the study. He has organized the work by assembling a collection of landmark CCIR documents and providing a narrative text on their importance. The perspective is therefore from an international point of view and provides an chronology of the critical developments in HDTV television during the period 1972-1992.] SMPTE J, V102 10, OCT 93, p913-930 The Interfacing of Aes Ebu Serial Digital Audio Signals with D-1, D-2, and D-3 Format Digital Television Tape Recorders, Lilley MA, p931- 937. [This tutorial was written at the request of the Working Group on DTTR Format Applications, which is one of the subgroups of the SMPTE Committee on Television Recording and Reproduction Technology. It is intended to acquaint the reader with how the auxiliary data of the AES/EBU signal is utilized in the various implementations of the existing D-1, D-2, and D-3 digital television tape recorder (DTTR) formats and some of the problems likely to be encountered in the use of AES/EBU serial digital audio signals with DTTRs.] SMPTE J, V102 10, OCT 93, p931-937, Davies,ken, Smpte Engineering Vice President, [item about an individual], King C, p938-939.
