**Call for Papers**
The sixth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools
and Applications (IPTA'16) will be held on December 12-15, 2016, in
the exciting city of Oulu (Finland). Oulu, which is situated about 125
miles south of the Arctic Circle, is known as the capital of Northern
Scandinavia and the city of technology.

IPTA'16 aims at bringing together international researchers,
innovators, educators, and practitioners in image processing to share
their achievements, exchange their experience and discuss future
orientations. The conference provides an excellent forum to meet and
discuss various important issues on image processing and applications.
