<h3>About This Special Issue </h3>
<div class="row">
<div class="span12">
<p> The big data era has brought with it new challenges to
computer vision and image understanding. More scalable and
robust methods are required to efficiently index, retrieve,
organize and interact with big visual data. One can only think
to the amount of image/video data downloaded every minute in
social media or to the number of surveillance cameras
installed in our cities nowadays. Both cases are not
manageable without automatic or semi-automatic (e.g.,
human-in-the-loop) approaches capable of distill useful
information from a large quantity of raw data. This special
issue covers a wide range of topics, with a common denominator
devoted to the analysis for understanding of images and
videos. Some of these papers are extended versions of the best
works presented at the International Conference on Image
Analysis and Processing <a href="http://www.iciap2015.eu/">ICIAP
2015</a>, held in Genova in September 2015. <br>
