IEEE Signal Processing Society 1998 International Conference on Image Processing October 4-7, 1998 Chicago, Illinois, USA 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. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES Prospective authors are invited to propose papers for presentation in any of the technical areas listed above. To submit a proposal, prepare a 2-3 page summary of the paper including figures and references. Send six copies of the paper summary each with a cover sheet stating: (1) paper title, (2) technical area(s), (3) nature of problem which you have addressed and its importance, (4) original contribution, (5) contact author's a. first (personal) name, b. last (family) name, c. address, d. telephone number, e. fax number, and f. electronic mail address to: Conference Management Services 3109 Westchester Avenue College Station, TX 77845-7919, USA Each selected paper (five-page limit) will be published in the Proceedings of ICIP-98. Presentations will be assigned to a lecture or poster session by the technical committee. Style files in LaTeX will be provided for the convenience of the authors.
