Call for Papers

Special Issue of Computer Vision and Image Understanding on

Analysis of Volumetric Images

Papers are solicited on topics related to analysis of volumetric images. Volumetric images are images represented by three- or higher-dimensional arrays. These are generated by imaging devices such as medical scanners or simulation procedures. This special issue is devoted to methods that analyze such images. Emphasis will be on techniques that analyze volumetric images as a whole rather than slice by slice. General algebraic, geometric, statistical, topological and structural techniques independent of application are of interest, although innovative techniques that use knowledge about images in a particular domain to analyze images in that domain will also be considered.

Topics:

  1. Image Representation
  2. Edge Detection
  3. Image Segmentation
  4. Feature Selection
  5. Image Matching
  6. Object Recognition
  7. Texture Analysis
  8. Elastic and other Models
  9. Motion Analysis
  10. Invariance
  11. Evaluation of Image Segmentation Techniques
  12. Surveys
