International Conferences, SIP and MulGraB 2010, Held as Part of the Future Generation Information Technology Conference, FGIT 2010, Jeju Island, Korea, December 13-15, 2010. Proceedings

Welcome to the proceedings of the 2010 International Conferences on Signal Proce- ing, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (SIP 2010), and Multimedia, C- puter Graphics and Broadcasting (Mul Gra B 2010) – two of the partnering events of the Second International Mega-Conference on Future Generation Information Te- nology (FGIT 2010). SIP and Mul Gra B bring together researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted – pects of image, signal, and multimedia processing, including their links to compu- tional sciences, mathematics and information technology. In total, 1, 630 papers were submitted to FGIT 2010 from 30 countries, which – cludes 225 papers submitted to SIP/Mul Gra B 2010. The submitted papers went through a rigorous reviewing process: 395 of the 1, 630 papers were accepted for FGIT 2010, while 53 papers were accepted for SIP/Mul Gra B 2010. Of the 53 papers 8 were selected for the special FGIT 2010 volume published by Springer in the LNCS series. 37 papers are published in this volume, and 8 papers were withdrawn due to technical reasons. We would like to acknowledge the great effort of the SIP/Mul Gra B 2010 Inter- tional Advisory Boards and members of the International Program Committees, as well as all the organizations and individuals who supported the idea of publishing this volume of proceedings, including SERSC and Springer. Also, the success of these two conferences would not have been possible without the huge support from our sponsors and the work of the Chairs and Organizing Committee.
