CONFERENCE FOCUS
================

   The International Conference on  Image Processing (ICIP), sponsored
   by the IEEE Signal Processing Society, is the premier forum for the
   presentation of technological advances and  research results in the
   fields of theoretical,  experimental,  and applied image and  video
   processing. ICIP-2004,the eleventh 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.
