SCIP@WILF2003
Special Session of WILF3003 on
"Soft Computing in Image Processing"
http://www.disi.unige.it/wilf2003/WILF2003%20-%20Special%20Session.htm
organized in cooperation with the SCIP group
(http://fuzzy.rug.ac.be/SCIP)
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
SESSION AIMS
Image analysis has been a major topic in many areas of research and
development, in particular, in image processing, computer vision and
pattern recognition. For over four decades, researchers and engineers
have developed numerous methods and systems, many of which have been
successfully used in real-world applications, including satellite image
analysis, biomedical data processing, biometrics, and most recently,
genomic data analysis. In these applications, the majority of the methods
were based on probabilistic paradigms, such as the well-known Bayesian
paradigm rule and evidence-based decision-making systems.
These methods were all originated from the crisp-world philosophy:
regardless of the nature of the problem at hand, for the most part of
the theoretical and practical development in image and pattern analysis,
people have made the crisp assumption and modeled problems in black and
white.
Since from the 60s several major seminal theories have been proposed which
include fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, evolutionary computation, and neural
networks. When combined with the well-established probabilistic approaches,
the new methods will become more effective and powerful in real-world
applications. The capabiblity of these techniques to incorporate imprecision
and incomplete information, and to model very complex systems makes them a
useful tool in many scientific areas. Needless to say, image analysis is one
of these areas.
This special session will cover a range of domains, from more traditional
ones such as image analysis at low, medium and high level, including pattern
recognition and all the topics inherent to computer vision, all treated by
means of soft-computing techniques.
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.
-Applications, i.e. visual surveillance, face recognition, medical imaging,
remote sensing, etc.
SUBMISSION TO THE SPECIAL SESSION
Researchers interested in submitting a paper for this Special Session of WILF
2003 (http://www.disi.unige.it/wilf2003) are kindly asked to send a short
confirmation email, including the abstract of the paper, to A. Petrosino
(e-mail: [log in to unmask]), indicating in the subject "SCIP
Session". This will facilitate the upcoming review process. The paper must
be submitted by June 27 2003 using the submission procedure described at
http://www.disi.unige.it/wilf2003/WILF2003-Submission.html.
A selection of papers will be peer reviewed for originality, technical
contentsand relevance and will be considered for publication in a
special issue of the Image and Vision Computing journal we
are planning.
