Computer Image Analysis is a new specialty section in the community-run open-access journal Frontiers in ICT. This section is led by Specialty Chief Editors Drs Christian Barillot and Patrick Bouthemy.

The challenge of Computer Image Analysis is to handle overflowing sets of images that convey imperfect, partial or noisy information, while aiming at recognition, decision or prediction. To achieve these goals, image analysis must ensure quality and performance capable of producing robust and accurate perception of physical or human processes.

We publish research addressing the scientific and engineering challenges of Image Processing, Image Analysis, Computer Vision, and Image Perception and their related application fields, with a specific attention to emerging interdisciplinary areas. Our specialty welcomes papers both in basic research and applications related to environmental sciences, life sciences, multimedia, video surveillance and biometrics.

Frontiers in ICT offers:
