ICIP-2003, the tenth in the series that has been held annually since 1994, will bring together leading engineers and scientists in image processing from around the world. 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 technical sessions. TOPICS OF INTERESTS =================== 1. IMAGE/VIDEO CODING AND TRANSMISSION: Still image and video coding, model-based and synthetic-natural hybrid coding, source/channel coding, stereoscopic and 3-D coding, coding standards, image and video over networks, error resilience, video streaming. 2. IMAGE/VIDEO PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS: Linear and nonlinear filtering and enhancement, restoration, multiframe image restoration, segmentation, wavelets and multiresolution processing, morphological processing, color and multispectral processing, stereoscopic and 3-D processing, modeling, analysis, interpolation and spatial transformations, motion detection and estimation, image sequence processing, noise modeling, architectures and software, neural, adaptive, and fuzzy processing, computer vision. 3. IMAGE FORMATION: Acoustic, radar, and tomographic imaging, nuclear, X-ray, and magnetic resonance imaging, geophysical and seismic imaging, radio astronomy and speckle imaging, optical imaging, and synthetic-natural hybrid image systems. 4. IMAGE SCANNING, PRINTING, DISPLAY AND COLOR: Scanning and sampling, quantization and halftoning, color reproduction, image representation and rendering, display and printing systems, image quality assessment. 5. IMAGE/VIDEO STORAGE, RETRIEVAL, AND MULTIMEDIA: Image and video databases, image search and sorting, video indexing and editing, integration of images and video with other media, content-based multimedia, multimedia applications, authentication and watermarking. 6. APPLICATIONS: Application of image processing technology to any field, including biomedical sciences, astronomy, geosciences, environment, humanities, arts, forensic sciences, and document processing. PAPER SUBMISSION ================ Prospective authors are invited to submit extended summaries of not more than four (4) pages including results, figures and references. Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through the conference web site. Submission of extended summary : January 10, 2003 Notification of acceptance : April 10, 2003 Submission of camera-ready papers : May 9, 2003 TUTORIALS AND SPECIAL SESSIONS PROPOSALS ======================================== Tutorials will be held on Sunday, September 14, 2003. Proposals for tutorials must include a title, an outline of the tutorial and its motivation, contact information for the presenter, and a short description of the material to be covered. Proposals for tutorials should be submitted to Fernando Pereira (fp@lx.it.pt) before December 10, 2002. ICIP-2003 will include a number of special sessions. Proposals for special sessions must include a title, contact information for the session chair(s), and a list of authors who have agreed to present papers in the session. Proposals for special sessions should be submitted to Ferran Marques (ferran@gps.tsc.upc.es) before December 10, 2002. CONFERENCE VENUE ================ ICIP 2003 will be held in the Catalonia Palace of Congresses, in Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona is one of the most attractive destinations in Europe both for its architecture and its cultural life. The recently opened Catalonia Palace of Congresses with its advanced design, offers functionality and capacity together with the highest technology. BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD ======================== ICIP 2003 is pleased to announce an award for the Best Student Paper. Application for the award will be by self-nomination after acceptance of the paper upon submission of the final manuscript.
