CALL FOR PAPERS
 
      Special Issue of Computer Vision and Image Understanding on
                    Analysis of Volumetric Images
 
   Papers are solicited on topics related to analysis of volumetric
 images.  Volumetric images are images represented by three- or higher-
 dimensional arrays. These are generated by imaging devices such as medical
 scanners or simulation procedures. This special issue is devoted to methods
 that analyze such images. Emphasis will be on techniques that analyze
 volumetric images as a whole rather than slice by slice. General algebraic,
 geometric, statistical, topological and structural techniques independent
 of application are of interest, although innovative techniques that use
 knowledge about images in a particular domain to analyze images in that
 domain will also be considered.
