CALL FOR PAPERS

Elsevier Journal Signal Processing: Image Communication
Special Issue on  BIOLOGICALLY INSPIRED APPROACHES FOR
VISUAL INFORMATION PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS

======================================================

Overview:
Recent developments in technologies that make large scale use of image and
video data, such as the internet, multimedia systems, digital TV, digital
cinema, and mobile/wireless devices have increased the need for efficient
processing, storage and transmission of visual information. It is now
widely acknowledged that such technologies could benefit further by
incorporating ongoing research on the biologically inspired computational
models and especially the Human Visual System (HVS) modeling.  Indeed, in
many applications, the human observer plays a prominent role in the
decision tasks such as diagnosis, recognition and evaluation based on
visual assessment of images. Recent years have witnessed an increasing
interest in biologically inspired image and video processing and analysis
approaches.

Scope:
The objective of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality articles on
a broad array of applied and theoretical subjects on biologically inspired
approaches for Visual Information Processing and analysis. This special
issue will cover the recent advances in HVS inspired techniques for image
and video processing with applications to multimedia, visual pattern
recognition, surveillance, visual information coding and security and
other related subjects. This call for papers invites also articles
covering all aspects related to biologically inspired vision architectures
and their hardware implementation for real-time image and video
processing.

Topics of particular interest to this special issue include, but are not
limited to:
3D Video Coding and Analysis 					Video Segmentation and Analysis
Image and Video Quality Assessment 			Visual Tracking
Image and Video Enhancement 				Image databases and indexing
Perceptual Hashing Video 					Surveillance and Biometrics
Multi-View Coding 							Perceptual Digital Watermarking
Perceptual Image & Video Retrieval 				Perceptual Coding
Multimedia Communication 					Multi-View Processing


Submission format
