With more than a billion people using networked, mobile, and\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Elocation-aware cameras, we\u2019re seeing a rapid evolution in activities based on\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Evisual exchange. How will these tools impact visual-computing research and\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Eapplications?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECapture and analysis of visual information play an important role in\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Ephotography, art, medical imaging, telepresence, worker safety, scene\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Eunderstanding, and robotics. But current computational approaches analyze images\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Efrom cameras with limited abilities. How will online photo collections transform\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Evisual social computing? What will a camera look like in 10 years? How should we\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Echange the camera to improve mobile photography? How will a billion networked\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Eand portable cameras change the social culture? How will people create, share,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Eand discuss visual stories? Future cameras will exploit unusual optics, novel\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Eillumination, and emerging sensors. A significant enhancement in the next\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Ebillion cameras to support scene analysis and mechanisms for superior metadata\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Etagging for effective sharing will bring about a revolution in visual\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Ecommunication. Billions of cameras will give us a window on a much larger\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Evariety of scenes, and these cameras\u2019 networks will change how we consume imagery.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThis special issue will broadly cover domains linked to novel image capture,\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Eimage-based synthesis, online content exploitation, social implications of\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Epervasive recording and eager consumption of visual media, and emerging trends\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003Ein commerce based on visual computing.
