EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing
Special Issue on
Multispectral and Hyperspectral Image and Video 
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/asp/si/mhivp.html
Due Date: April 1, 2011

Call for Papers

Recent advances in imaging and computer hardware technology have led
to an explosion in the use of multispectral, hyperspectral, and in
particular, color images/video in a variety of fields including
agriculture, ecology, geology, medicine, meteorology, mining, and
oceanography. As a result, automated processing and analysis of
multichannel images/video have become an active area of research,
which is witnessed by the large number of publications during the past
two decades. The multivariate nature of visual data presents new
challenges for researchers and practitioners as the numerous methods
developed for single channel images/video are often not directly
applicable to multichannel images/video.

The goal of this special issue is to bring together researchers and
practitioners working in the area of color, multispectral, and
hyperspectral image and video processing. We are soliciting original
contributions, which address a wide range of theoretical and practical
issues. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

    * Coding and compression
    * Sampling and interpolation
    * Fusion
    * Filtering and enhancement
    * Morphology
    * Edge detection and segmentation
    * Feature extraction
    * Indexing and retrieval
    * Applications and future trends

Note that the main focus of this issue is the utilization of
multichannel information in image and video processing. Therefore,
submissions that primarily involve monochrome image/video processing
techniques will not be considered.

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's
Author Guidelines, which are located at
http://www.hindawi.com/journals/asp/guidelines.html. Prospective
authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript
through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at
http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
