Publisher’s note
Most Cited Paper Award
The Publisher is delighted to announce the ‘‘Most Cited Paper Award’’ for the Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation. With the introduction of our most cited paper award, we are offering an alternative to committee-selected ‘‘best papers.’’ The only objective and transparent metric that is highly correlated with the quality of a paper is the number of citations. We hope that the design of this most cited paper award will ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all authors published in the journal. It is our hope that this award will stimulate the best minds to release their best work. Papers for this distinction are determined solely on the basis of the highest number of cites received for all journal articles published between the years 2004 and 2006 [data culled from SCOPUS reports (www.scopus.com) created on January 11, 2007]. The winning paper is ‘‘A new cut detection algorithm with constant false-alarm ratio for video segmentation,’’ by T.-Y. Liu, K.-T. Lo, X.-D. Zhang, and J. Feng, J. Vis. Commun. Image R. 15 (2004) 132–144. We congratulate Drs. Liu, Lo, Zhang, and Feng for this great achievement. Tie-Yan Liu is a researcher in the Web Search and Mining Group, Microsoft Research Asia. His current research interests include learning to rank, link analysis/anti-spam, and data mining for search. Dr. Liu is very active in the research communities. So far, he has 50 quality papers published in referred international conferences and journals and has over 20 filed US/international patents or pending applications. He has served on the program committees for many international conferences, such as SIGIR, ICSE, ICDM, and ICIP. He is also a reviewer for a dozen international journals. Prior to joining Microsoft, Dr. Liu obtained his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University, where his research efforts were devoted to video coding and multimedia content analysis. During his studies at Tsinghua University, he also worked as research assistant for the

City University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He has been a member of IEEE since 1999. Kwok-Tung Lo was born and raised in Hong Kong. He obtained his M.Phil. and Ph.D. in electronic engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1989 and 1992, respectively. Since 1992, he has been with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where he is now an associate professor in the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering. Dr. Lo is very active in research and has published over 130 papers in various international journals and conference proceedings. He is one of the authors of the book Fundamentals of Image Coding and Wavelet Compression: Principles, Algorithms and Standards published by the Tsinghua University Press, 2004. He is currently an associate editor of HKIE Transactions and a member of the Editorial Board of Multimedia Tools and Applications: An International Journal. His current research interests include media streaming, multimedia signal processing, multimedia communications, and Internet applications. Jian Feng received her Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of New South Wales, Australia. She is currently with the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University. Dr. Feng is active in research and has published over 80 technical papers in various refereed journals and conference proceedings. She is one of the authors of the book Fundamentals of Image Coding and Wavelet Compression: Principles, Algorithms and Standards published by the Tsinghua University Press, 2004. Her current research interests include digital video processing, multimedia communications, Internet applications, digital watermarking, video transmission, and storage system.
