and Systems": Call for Papers
=========================================================

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 1, 2004.

The International Journal of Signal Processing, (IJSP) is planning to
publish a special issue on "Soft Computing in Image Processing: Techniques &
Systems". We invite the submission of full length and short correspondence
papers that will detail the state-of-the-art and trends in soft computing in
image processing. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Soft computing algorithms for denoising and restoration
- Soft computing techniques for pattern recognition
- Soft computing algorithms for digital image processing, coding and
encryption
- Soft computing in computer vision
- Soft computing algorithms for video content-based indexing and retrieval
- Soft multimedia data analysis and visualization: texture, color, content,
etc.
- Decision fusing with fuzzy logic
- Soft-Computing algorithms for watermarking
- Fuzzy wavelets
- Fuzzy mathematical morphology
- Applications, e.g. in visual surveillance, face recognition, medical
imaging, ...

This special issue will gather the latest research and development of soft
computing in image processing and address the most current issues and
challenges.

We refer to the SCIP website for a more detailed Call for Papers, author
guidelines, and some background information on the International Journal of
Signal Processing. We would highly encourage you to submit a paper for this
special issue!
