                   PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS


Sponsored by the Institute  of  Electrical  and  Electronics  En-
gineers (IEEE) Signal Processing Society, ICIP-94 is the inaugur-
al international conference on theoretical, experimental and  ap-
plied  image  processing.   It  will provide a centralized, high-
quality forum for  presentation  of  technological  advances  and
research  results  by  scientists  and engineers working in Image
Processing and associated  disciplines  such  as  multimedia  and
video  technology.  Also encouraged are image processing applica-
tions in areas such as the biomedical sciences and geosciences.

SCOPE:

1. IMAGE PROCESSING: Coding, Filtering, Enhancement, Restoration,
Segmentation,  Multiresolution Processing, Multispectral Process-
ing, Image Representation, Image Analysis, Interpolation and Spa-
tial  Transformations, Motion Detection and Estimation, Image Se-
quence Processing, Video Signal Processing, Neural  Networks  for
image  processing  and  model-based compression,  Noise Modeling,
Architectures and Software.

2. COMPUTED IMAGING: Acoustic Imaging, Radar Imaging, Tomography,
Magnetic  Resonance Imaging, Geophysical and Seismic Imaging, Ra-
dio Astronomy, Speckle Imaging, Computer Holography, Confocal Mi-
croscopy,   Electron  Microscopy,   X-ray Crystallography, Coded-
Aperture Imaging,  Real-Aperture Arrays.

3. IMAGE SCANNING DISPLAY AND PRINTING:  Scanning  and  Sampling,
Quantization  and Halftoning, Color Reproduction, Image Represen-
tation and  Rendering,  Graphics  and  Fonts,  Architectures  and
Software for Display and Printing Systems, Image Quality, Visual-
ization.

4. VIDEO: Digital video, Multimedia, HD video and  packet  video,
video signal processor chips.

5. APPLICATIONS: Application of image  processing  technology  to
any field.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURES
Prospective authors are invited to propose papers for lecture  or
poster  presentation  in any of the technical areas listed above.
To submit a proposal, prepare a 2-3 page summary of the paper in-
cluding  figures  and  references.  Send five copies of the paper
summaries to:
             John W. Woods

             Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
             Troy, NY 12180-3590, USA.

Each selected paper (five-page limit) will be  published  in  the
Proceedings  of  ICIP-94, using high-quality paper for good image
reproduction.  Style files in LaTeX will be provided for the con-
venience of the authors.

SCHEDULE
Paper summaries/abstracts due:  15 February 1994
Notification of Acceptance:     1 May 1994
Camera-Ready papers:            15 July 1994
Conference:                     13-16 November 1994

CONFERENCE ENVIRONMENT
ICIP-94 will be held in the recently  completed  state-of-the-art
Convention  Center  in  downtown Austin. The Convention Center is
situated two blocks from the Town Lake, and is  only  12  minutes
from  Robert  Meuller  Airport.   It is surrounded by many modern
hotels that provide comfortable accommodation  for  $75-$125  per
night.

Austin, the state capital, is  renowned  for  its  natural  hill-
country  beauty and an active cultural scene. Within walking dis-
tance of the Convention Center are  several  hiking  and  jogging
trails, as well as opportunities for a variety of aquatic sports.
Live bands perform in various clubs around the city and at  night
spots  along  Sixth  Street,  offering  a  range  of jazz, blues,
country/Western, reggae, swing and rock music.  Day  temperatures
are typically in the upper sixties in mid-November.

An exciting range of EXHIBITS, VENDOR PRESENTATIONS,  and  SOCIAL
EVENTS  is being planned. Innovative proposals for TUTORIALS, and
SPECIAL SESSIONS are invited.
