CALL FOR PAPERS
          Special Issue of PATTERN RECOGNITION on Image Registration

   Image registration is a basic operation involving determination
of correspondence between all points in two or more images of the same
scene. This operation is needed in many image analysis tasks such as
change detection, image data fusion, and image geometric correction. The
need for image registration has tremendously increased  due to the
increased use of temporal and moultimodal 2-D and 3-D images in medical, 
remote sensing, and industrial applications. The aim of this special
issue is to survey existing image registration techniques and 
introduce new techniques that improve over existing ones.

TOPICS:
   Papers are solicited covering theory as well as applications of
   image registration including but not limited to: feature selection,
   feature correspondence, similarity metrics, image geometric 
   transformation, image resampling, sub-pixel accuracy, evaluation, 
   comparison of existing techniques; as well as registration techniques 
   that are application-dependent and take into consideration special 
   properties of medical, remote sensing, and industrial images.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
   Submit four copies of your paper to either of the guest editors.
   Papers covering general and application-independent topics should be
