EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing

  Special Issue on
  Advances in Intelligent Vision Systems: Methods and
  Applications

Computer vision has proved especially successful in
well-constrained industrial environments (for instance when
illumination, objects types, and orientations are known).
However, in many practical applications such as airborne or
remote sensing, medical imaging, face recognition, outdoor
robotics, and surveillance applications, the environment can
scarcely be controlled.

These challenging applications require a more sophisticated
approach. The resulting intelligent computer vision systems
usually integrate several image and video processing
algorithms, ranging from low-level preprocessing and
medium-level algorithms to high-level recognition techniques.
These solutions usually involve a specific adaptation of
generic image processing techniques to the application.

This special issue will be dedicated to original
contributions on state-of-the art components at any of the
above-mentioned three levels of an intelligent vision system
and on their interconnection. We also welcome submissions
detailing complete vision systems or specific applications.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 o Low level processing: filtering, segmentation, edge
   detection, and image transforms;
 o Intermediate level analysis: clustering, object tracking,
   and data fusion;
 o High level analysis: pattern matching, classification,
   and recognition;
 o Empirical and algorithmic evaluation of techniques.
