This special section on computation color imaging is focused on color image processing, color image quality assessment, color vision modeling, and color image reproduction. The range of applications for color imaging is wide open and includes digital photography, multimedia, visual communications, computer vision, cultural heritage, and the consumer electronic industry. This is an open call for papers, soliciting original contributions in addition to selected works from the 2017 International Workshop on Computational Color Imaging (CCIW 2017).

The special section welcomes research papers that advance the state-of-the-art in these and related areas:

• Computational color vision models
• Perceptual color image processing
• Bioinspired color image/video processing methods
• Color data compression and encoding
• Color image/video indexing and retrieval
• Semantic analysis of color images
• Color image filtering and enhancement
• Color invariance, color saliency, color constancy
• Color texture
• Digital color image content protection
• Color image/video quality assessment
• Color image/video reproduction
• Multispectral/color image analysis
• Spatiotemporal color interaction modeling
• Color from science to art
• Color-based facial image analysis
• Color imaging and technology for material appearance
• Applications and future trends.

Manuscripts should conform to the author guidelines of the Journal of Electronic Imaging. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their manuscript through the online submission system at https://jei.msubmit.net. The special section should be mentioned in the cover letter. Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Peer review will commence immediately upon manuscript submission, with a goal of making a first decision within 6 weeks. Special sections are opened online once a minimum of four papers have been accepted. Each paper is published as soon as the copyedited and typeset proofs are approved by the author.

This special section on image and video analysis, detection, and recognition will address recent findings in theory, methodologies, and applications in image/video analysis and pattern. Its main goal is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in image/video analysis, and to promote further applications in a range of fields including medical imaging, digital photography, multimedia, cultural heritage, and surveillance.

This is an open call for papers, soliciting original contributions in addition to selected works from the 2017 International Conference on Image Analysis and Processing (ICIAP 2017), a well-established conference series organized biennially by the Italian Member Society (GIRPR) of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR).  

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:      

• Architecture of imaging and vision systems
• Image analysis and interpretation Image databases
• Image processing applications Image representation
• Monitoring and surveillance
• Retrieval and multimedia
• Signal-processing aspects of image processing
• Image restoration and enhancement
• Image and video segmentation
• Color, texture, and motion analysis
• Event and gesture recognition
• Shape and matching
• Biomedical imaging
• Visual inspection Image and video databases
• Image and video retrieval and indexing Feature extraction and selection methods.
