------------------------------------------------------------
The development of new technologies in the field of computer,
communication and display electronics in the last two decades  have
provided a great  impetus in carrying out a substantive research in the
area of visual information processing.  It now finds a great deal of
applications in defense, medicine, entertainment industry, e-commerce and
in many other areas.  R&D units in various industries and research
organizations, along with researchers in Universities, contribute to the
growth in this area.  The special issue of the IETE Journal of Research is
intended for a timely and cohesive dissemination of recent findings in the
area.  Papers containing original and previously unpublished novel ideas,
are solicited on the following suggestive topics for inclusion  in the
special issue.


1. Image processing               2. Video sequence analysis
3. Motion analysis and tracking   4. Image and video compression
5. Video over IP and Wireless     6. Watermarking and video authorization
   networks
7. Image and video databases,     8. Gesture analysis and gesture-based 
   indexing and content based        interfaces 
   retrieval
9. Image mosaicing               10. Visual special effects
11.Super-resolution imaging      12. Image based rendering
13.Visual content creation and   14. Camera calibration
   manipulation                  
15.Application in biometry, 
   entertainment, navigation,
