Call for Papers
Vision in general and images in particular have always played an important and essential role in human life. In the past they were, today they are, and in the future they will continue to be one of our most important information carriers. Nowadays, the field of image processing also has numerous commercial, scientific, industrial and military applications. All these applications result from the interaction between fundamental scientific research on the one hand, and the development of new and high-standard technology on the other hand.
In order to cope with the variety of image processing challenges, several techniques have been introduced and developed, quite often with great success. Among the different techniques that are currently in use, we also encounter soft computing techniques. Soft Computing is an emerging field that consists of complementary elements of fuzzy logic, neural computing, evolutionary computation, machine learning and probabilistic reasoning.
Topics include, but are not limited to, soft computing in/for:
Image quality improvement: filtering, noise removal, enhancement, restoration
Image analysis: edge detection, segmentation, pattern recognition, object recognition, interpretation
Image compression and image reconstruction
Image similarity
Computer vision
Satellite image processing
Medical image processing
Mathematical morphology
Wavelets
Submission guidelines. Detailed guidelines:
Papers should be written in English
Papers should be submitted in Word or PDF format
Papers are limited to 4 pages. Any papers exceeding 4 pages will be charged a $50 fee per additional page.
Papers should be formatted with double columns and should be single-spaced in a 10 point font such as Times Roman.
All submissions will be reviewed by review panels and the authors will be informed of the result of the review by the 30th of March, 2007. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, ISIP cited. A selected number of accepted papers will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion in Journal of Information Sciences (SCI-cited), Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems (SCI-Expanded), and other international journals such as New Mathematics and Natural Computation. Some of these selected papers will also be considered to be included in a book volume published by an internationally renowned publisher.
Authors have to submit their paper to the session organizers at scip@ugent.be and g.schaefer@aston.ac.uk. In order to plan the review process, please give us a short email message, indicating your interest in the special session and a preliminary title of your paper.
We summarize the most important dates:
Submission of papers: February 1, 2007
Notification of acceptance: March 30, 2007
Submission of camera ready papers: June 10, 2007
