 High-quality original journal paper submissions are invited. The topics
 of interest include (but are not limited to):
   Support Vector Machines, Independent Component Analysis,
   Principal Component Analysis, Mixture Modeling, Canonical
   Correlation Analysis, etc. 
      applied to  computer vision problems such as:
   Object Recognition, Navigation and Robotics, Medical Imaging,
   3D Vision, etc.
 
 All submitted papers will be peer reviewed. Only high-quality, original
 submissions will be accepted for publication in the Special Issue---in
 accordance with the Pattern Recognition guidelines
