Image and Vision Computing has as a primary aim the provision of an effective medium of interchange for the results of high quality theoretical and applied research fundamental to all aspects of image processing and computational vision. The journal publishes work that addresses the application of methods to real world scenes and seeks to strengthen a deeper understanding in the discipline by encouraging the quantitative comparison and performance evaluation of the emerging components of image processing and computational vision systems. The coverage includes: image sensing, capture, processing, storage and transmission, image representation, scene modelling, object modelling and knowledge acquisition, psychophysical aspects of biological and computational vision, image databases, monitoring and surveillance, image generation, active vision and robotic systems, visual inspection, autonomous vehicles, document image understanding, character and handwritten text recognition, data fusion from multiple sensor inputs, cognitive aspects of image understanding, architecture of imaging and vision systems, embedded vision applications including wider HCI and control issues, applications of image processing and image understanding in medicine, commerce and manufacturing, remote sensing of earth resources, transport and highway control. Months of publication: January/February, March, April, May, June, July/August, September, October, November and December. Index bound in last issue of calendar year.
