Biomedical Signal Processing and Control (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/bspc/)
Special issue on "Biomedical Image Restoration and Enhancement"

The pdf version of this CFP is available at
http://www.elsevierscitech.com/dronsite/cfp/CallforPapers-BSPC.pdf

Biomedical imaging is critically important for diagnosis, therapy and
discovery in both clinical and pre-clinical scenarios. There are a
number of critical issues regarding the restoration and enhancement of
images captured by biomedical imaging systems, such as Poisson noise
and space variant point spread functions. Such effects are often
neglected in conventional image restoration algorithms. The special
issue is therefore dedicated to the subject of biomedical image
restoration and enhancement techniques, mainly in suppression of
highly structured or correlated noise and artifacts for biomedical
imaging systems.

*** Topics of interest (but are not limited to) ***
-> Image degradation modeling and image quality evaluation 
-> Deblurring and denoising
-> Interpolation, super-resolution, and mosaicing
-> Registration, multi-frame image restoration
-> Inpainting and image synthesis
-> Applications in MRI, PET, SPECT, microscopy imaging, etc
