CALL FOR PAPERS: Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence Journal Elsevier Science ============================ 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.
