Journal name change for 2007

Following the merger on March 31st 2006 between the IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers) and the IIE (The Institution of Incorporated Engineers) to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology, with effect from 2007, the IEE Proceedings suite of journals will change name to reflect the fact that they are now published by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. IEE Proceedings Vision, Image and Signal Processing will be split into 3 brand new titles for 2007, each starting at Volume 1, Issue 1:

IET Computer Vision
Print ISSN: 1751-9632, Online ISSN: 1751-9640

IET Image Processing
Print ISSN: 1751-9659, Online ISSN: 1751-9667

IET Signal Processing
Print ISSN: 1751-9675, Online ISSN: 1751-9683

Important information on the new IET Research Journal titles for 2007

Scope

IEE Proceedings Vision, Image and Signal Processing journal covers the following topics:

• Computer vision topics include reconstruction of 3D depth information, estimation of object motion, attribute based recognition and high level scene understanding.
• Image processing includes topics such as image enhancement and restoration, feature extraction, low level segmentation and colour and texture analysis.
• Signal processing including algorithm advances in single and multi-dimensional, linear and nonlinear, recursive and nonrecursive digital filters and multirate filter banks; signal transformation techniques; classical, parametric and higher order spectral analysis; system modelling and adaptive identification techniques; the application of chaos theory and neural network based approaches to signal processing.

The journal also covers source coding techniques used in image storage and transmission; for example vector quantisation, transform and sub-band coding techniques, motion compensation, standards, and 3D model based coding for both video sequences and single image frames. Advances in the field of speech analysis, coding, recognition and synthesis are appropriate to this journal.

Papers on novel algorithms for image and signal theory and processing are welcomed. Papers having practical relevance and dealing with the application of these concepts are particularly encouraged.

Paper of the Month

Scalable phase extraction methods for phase plane motion estimation, Vol.153, No.6, p.860-868
