Special Issue on Automatic Target Detection and Recognition

IEEE Transactions on Image Processing

A special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing will be devoted
to the topic of Automatic Target Detection and Recognition (ATD/R).  The
purpose of this special issue is to provide an overview of the
state-of-the-art in this important field, and to collect significant research
results about new developments.  Authors are encouraged to submit original,
unpublished research papers on the topic of automatic target detection and
recognition.  Possible topics for papers submitted to the special issue
include, but are not limited to:

     Multiresolution processing
     FLIR, Laser, MMW and SAR image processing
     Multiband detection and discrimination
     Sensor, target and clutter modeling
     Design of filters for target detection and feature extraction
     Image analysis and image segmentation
     Model-based target detection and recognition
     Model-based processing of image sequences for target motion
         detection, recognition ad tracking
     Physics-based processing for target detection and recognition
     Multisensor processing and sensor fusion
     Feature selection and design of classifiers
     Adaptive techniques for detection and recognition
     Change detection and wide-area surveillance for ATD/R
     Performance evaluation
