FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing
Special Issue on Multispectral and Hyperspectral Image and Video Processing

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/asp/si/mhivp.html
********************************************************************************

INTRODUCTION

Recent advances in imaging and computer hardware technology have led to an
explosion in the use of multispectral, hyperspectral, and in particular, color
images/video in a variety of fields including agriculture, ecology, geology,
medicine, meteorology, mining, and oceanography. As a result, automated
processing and analysis of multichannel images/video have become an active area
of research, which is witnessed by the large number of publications during the
past two decades. The multivariate nature of visual data presents new challenges
for researchers and practitioners as the numerous methods developed for single
channel images/video are often not directly applicable to multichannel images/
video.

The goal of this special issue is to bring together researchers and
practitioners working in the area of color, multispectral, and hyperspectral
image and video processing. We are soliciting original contributions, which
address a wide range of theoretical and practical issues. Potential topics
include, but are not limited to:

- Coding and compression
- Sampling and interpolation
- Fusion
- Filtering and enhancement
- Morphology
- Edge detection and segmentation
- Feature extraction
- Indexing and retrieval
- Applications and future trends

Note that the main focus of this issue is the utilization of multichannel
information in image and video processing. Therefore, submissions that primarily
involve monochrome image/video processing techniques will not be considered.

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author
Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/asp/guidelines.
html. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete
manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.
