1. New/Future direction• Multimedia signal include high-resolution images, realistic 2D and

3D graphics, high-quality multi-channel audio and real-time video • Aim: Processing of these data in an effective, secure, and user-

friendly manner. This applies to all segments of multimedia and communication systems

• Applications include: recordings and storage, transmission of the signals, security encryption of the data, reducing the side effects of transmission impairments and in man–machine communications. To support these applications, a new generation of multimedia security and signal processing techniques is needed.
