> The Proceedings of the IEEE is an archival, refereed journal that
> covers all
> aspects of electronics, electrical engineering and computer science with
> reviews, surveys and tutorial papers. The goal of a contribution to the
> Proceedings is to provide a definitive treatment of its subject. The
> objective of this special issue is to survey, review and archive
> significant
> contributions from vision science to product engineering.
>
> An important goal of vision science is to develop models for
> standard human
> observers that predict performance on a variety of visual tasks. These
> models in turn lead to the development of image quality metrics
> that can be
> used to specify and evaluate the design of imaging products, such as
> cameras, scanners, displays and printers. Photometers and
> colorimeters are
> excellent examples of contributions that vision science has made
> to product
> engineering. More recent examples include computational image quality
> metrics that are used to minimize distortion in image compression and
> digital halftoning. Even more recently, these metrics have been
> embodied in
> test and measurement products.

> While computational image quality metrics can be used to optimize
> the design
> of imaging peripherals, researchers and engineers have known for
> years that
> subjective judgements of image quality are not always predicted by the
> minimization of visible distortion. Image restoration methods,
> for example,
> can increase the distortion of an image and, at the same time,
> make it more
> pleasing to the eye. The development of methods for quantifying
> subjective
> impressions of image quality is another important problem in
> vision science.
>
> This issue will include invited papers from a few key individuals who have
> made significant contributions to vision science and product engineering.
> These contributions include the design of products that optimize a
> measurable aspect of image quality and the development of methods for
> quantifying different aspects of image quality. We are also seeking
> contributions to this special issue from individuals who are currently
> working to optimize the design of human information appliances.
