The International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society, is the premier forum for the presentation of technological advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied image and video processing. ICIP-2010, the seventeenth in the series that has been held annually since 1994, will bring together leading engineers and scientists in image processing from around the world. Research frontiers in fields ranging from traditional image processing applications to evolving multimedia and video technologies are regularly advanced by results first reported in ICIP technical sessions. Topics of interest for submissions include, but are not limited to:

1. IMAGE/VIDEO CODING AND TRANSMISSION:
Still image and video coding, model-based and synthetic-natural hybrid coding, source/channel coding, stereoscopic and 3-D coding, coding standards, image and video over networks, and video streaming.

2. IMAGE/VIDEO PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS:
Image filtering and enhancement, restoration, multiframe image restoration, video segmentation and tracking, wavelets and multiresolution processing, morphological processing, color and multispectral processing, stereoscopic and 3-D processing, modeling, analysis, biometrics, interpolation and super-resolution, motion detection and estimation, and computer vision.

3. IMAGE FORMATION:
Biomedical imaging, remote sensing imaging, geophysical and seismic imaging, optical imaging, and synthetic-natural hybrid image systems.

4. IMAGE SCANNING, PRINTING, DISPLAY AND COLOR:
Scanning and sampling, quantization and halftoning, color reproduction, image representation and rendering, display and printing systems, image quality assessment.

5. IMAGE/VIDEO STORAGE, RETRIEVAL, AND Authentication:
Image and video databases, image search and sorting, video indexing and editing, integration of images and video with other media, content-based multimedia, multimedia applications, authentication and watermarking.

6. APPLICATIONS:
Application of image processing technology to any field, including biomedical sciences, astronomy, geosciences, environment, humanities, and document processing.
