ICIP-98 CALL FOR PAPERS
 
 
ICIP-98, sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society, has been
recognized as the premier forum for presentation of technological advances
and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and
applied image and video processing.  Held annually since 1994, ICIP brings
together worldwide leading engineers and scientists in image and video
processing.  Research frontiers in fields ranging from traditional image
processing applications to evolving multimedia and video technologies are
regularly advanced by results first reported in ICIP's technical sessions.
 
SCOPE:
1. GENERAL TECHNIQUES AND ALGORITHMS Filtering, Enhancement, Restoration,
Coding, Segmentation, Multiresolution Processing, Multispectral
Processing, Image Representation, Image Analysis, Image Understanding,
Interpolation and Spatial Transformations, Neural Networks for Image
Processing, Architectures and Software.
2. COMPUTED IMAGING
Acoustic, Radar, Tomography, Magnetic Resonance, Geophysical and Seismic,
Speckle Imaging, Radio   Astronomy, Computer Holography, Confocal,
Electron Microscopy,  X-ray Crystallography, Coded- Aperture Imaging,
Real-Aperture Arrays.
3. IMAGE SCANNING DISPLAY AND PRINTING
Scanning and Sampling, Quantization and Halftoning, Color Reproduction,
Rendering, Graphics and Fonts, Image Quality, Visualization.
4. VIDEO AND MULTIMEDIA
Multimedia, HDTV, Enhanced Quality TV, Packet Video, Motion Detection,
Analysis and Estimation, Image   Sequence Processing, Video Data Base, Low
Bit Rate and Very Low Bit Rate Coding, Video over Wireless Channels,  Video
Signal Processor ICs,  Access to and Retrieval from Multimedia Databases.
5. APPLICATIONS
Application of Image Processing Technology to any field, including the
Biomedical Sciences, Astronomy, Geosciences, and Environment and Document
Processing.
