   A Special Issue on

           Machine Vision for Intelligent Vehicles and Autonomous Robots


Due to the reduced costs of image acquisition devices and to  the  increasing
computational power  of  current  computer  systems,  Artificial  Vision  has
recently become a very popular method to sense the  surrounding  environment.
A large number of research prototypes of vision-based autonomous systems have
been developed worldwide by academic, industrial, and military  institutions,
each relying on different techniques.

Following these developments, it is planned to publish a special issue of the
international journal Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence  to
be dedicated to AI techniques applied to vision-based navigation. The special
issue will be published in February 1998.


Topics covered in the special issue may include, but are not limited to,  the
following:

  Active and Real-Time Vision
  Object Recognition and Scene Interpretation
  Sensing of Unknown Environments
  Vision-based Real-time Robot and Vehicle Navigation
  Vision-based Guidance of Unmanned Vehicles
  Intelligent Sensors and Architectures for Low-level Vision
  Description of Research Prototypes


Authors are invited to submit application-oriented papers  dealing  with  the
various aspects of autonomous navigation,  and  how  artificial  intelligence
techniques can help this task. Send five copies of the  complete  manuscript,
before March 1st, 1997, to:
