FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

Journal of Real-Time Image Processing Special Issue on Real-Time Color Image Processing

INTRODUCTION

Color perception plays an important role in object recognition and scene understanding both for humans and intelligent vision systems. Recent advances in digital color imaging and computer hardware technology have led to an explosion in the use of color images in a variety of applications including medical imaging, content-based image retrieval, biometrics, watermarking, digital inpainting, remote sensing, visual quality inspection, among many others. As a result, automated processing and analysis of color images has become an active area of research, which is witnessed by the large number of publications during the past two decades. The multivariate nature of color image data presents new challenges for researchers and practitioners as the numerous methods developed for single channel images are often not directly applicable to multichannel images. In addition, common scalar image processing operations often become computationally intractable when performed in high dimensional spaces. As a result, development of computationally practical methods for color image processing has become an important research area.

The goal of this special issue is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of Real-Time Color Image Processing. We are soliciting original contributions, which address a wide range of theoretical and practical issues related to high-performance color image processing including, but not limited to:

- Coding and Compression

- Sampling and Interpolation

- Color Models

- Fusion

- Filtering and Enhancement

- Morphology

- Edge Detection and Segmentation

- Feature Extraction

- Indexing and Retrieval

- Applications and Future Trends
