Special Issue of

The Journal of VLSI Signal Processing-Systems for Signal, Image, and
Video Technology

------------------------------------------------------------
"PARALLEL VLSI ARCHITECTURES FOR IMAGE AND VIDEO PROCESSING"
------------------------------------------------------------

A Special Issue of the Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems will be
dedicated to Parallel VLSI Architectures for Image/Video Processing.
Original unpublished research and application development work are
sought in this area (a list of suggested topics is provided below).

The Special Issue will be oriented towards the design and implementation
on VLSI, of special purpose signal processing parallel architectures,
including parallel and pipelined signal processors, concerning all
aspects of image and video processing.

Possible topics include but are not limited to:
* Efficient implementation of digital video codecs
* Specialised parallel architectures for
* image analysis
* enhancement
* restoration
* segmentation
* feature extraction
* shape and texture analysis
* Specialised systems for medical imaging
* Parallel architectures for the representation of 3-D objects
* Morphological Systems
* Pipelined Processors and Systolic Arrays  for Image Processing
* Parallel Systems for Computer Vision
* Specialised Architectures for Character and Text Recognition
* Reliability, Availability, and Performance Issues 

Papers covering more than one of the above topics are very much
encouraged.

Submission Procedure
Authors should follow the JVSPS manuscript preparation guidelines as
described in the Information for Authors at the end of each issue of the
Journal. Five copies of the complete manuscript should be sent no later
than October 1, 1999 to one of the Guest Editors below. Early submission
is encouraged. The special issue will appear around April 2000.
