Journal Guide

Image and Vision Computing has as a primary aim the provision of an effective medium of interchange for the results of high quality theoretical and applied research fundamental to all aspects of image interpretation and computer vision. The journal publishes work that proposes new image interpretation and computer vision methodology or addresses the application of such methods to real world scenes. It seeks to strengthen a deeper understanding in the discipline by encouraging the quantitative comparison and performance evaluation of the proposed methodology. The coverage includes: image interpretation, scene modelling, object recognition and tracking, shape analysis, monitoring and surveillance, active vision and robotic systems, SLAM, biologically-inspired computer vision, motion analysis, stereo vision, document image understanding, character and handwritten text recognition, face and gesture recognition, biometrics, vision-based human-computer interaction, human activity and behavior understanding, data fusion from multiple sensor inputs, image databases.In addition to regular manuscripts, Image and Vision Computing Journal solicits manuscripts for the Opinions Column, aimed at initiating a free forum for vision researchers to express their opinions on past, current, or future successes and challenges in research and the community.An opinion paper should be succinct and focused on a particular topic. Addressing multiple related topics is also possible if this helps making the point. While posing questions helps raising awareness about certain issues, ideally, an opinion paper should also suggest a concrete direction how to address the issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Comments on success and challenges in a (sub-) field of computer vision,Remarks on new frontiers in computer visionObservations on current practices and trends in research, and suggestions for overcoming unsatisfying aspectsObservations on current practices and trends in the community regarding, e.g., reviewing process, organizing conferences, how journals are run, and suggestions for overcoming unsatisfying aspectsReviews of early seminal work that may have fallen out of fashionSummaries of the evolution of one's line of researchRecommendations for educating new generations of vision researchers.The format of an opinion paper should comply with the existing formatting guidelines for the Image and Vision Computing Journal submissions, and should not exceed 2 pages.Months of publication: January/February, March, April, May, June, July/August, September, October, November and December.

Hauptaufgabe dieser Zeitschrift ist die Publikation aktueller, praktisch verwertbarer Informationen über technische und wissenschaftliche Fortschritte aus allen Bereichen der Informatik und ihrer Anwendungen in Form von Übersichtsartikeln und einführenden Darstellungen sowie Berichten über Projekte und Fallstudien, die zukünftige Trends aufzeigen. Es sollen damit jene Leser angesprochen werden, die sich in neue Sachgebiete der Informatik einarbeiten, sich weiterbilden, sich einen Überblick verschaffen wollen. Damit kommen als Zielgruppe nicht nur ausgebildete Informatikspezialisten in Betracht, sondern auch Praktiker, die neben ihrer Tagesarbeit die wissenschaftliche Entwicklung der Informatik verfolgen, und Studierende an Fachhochschulen oder Universitäten, die sich Einblick in Aufgaben und Probleme der Praxis verschaffen möchten. Durch Auswahl der Autoren und der Themen sowie durch Einflussnahme auf Inhalt und Darstellung - die Beiträge werden von mehreren Herausgebern referiert - soll erreicht werden, dass möglichst jeder Beitrag dem größten Teil der Leser verständlich und lesenswert erscheint. So soll diese Zeitschrift das gesamte Spektrum der Informatik umfassen, aber nicht in getrennte Sparten mit verschiedenen Leserkreisen zerfallen. Da die Informatik eine sich auch weiterhin stark entwickelnde anwendungsorientierte Wissenschaft ist, die ihre eigenen wissenschaftlichen und theoretischen Grundlagen zu einem großen Teil selbst entwickeln muss, will die Zeitschrift sich an den Problemen der Praxis orientieren, ohne die Aufgabe zu vergessen, ein solides wissenschaftliches Fundament zu erarbeiten. Zur Anwendungsorientierung gehört auch die Beschäftigung mit den Problemen der Auswirkung der Informatikanwendungen auf den Einzelnen, den Staat und die Gesellschaft sowie mit Fragen der Informatik-Berufe einschließlich der Ausbildungsrichtlinien und der Bedarfsschätzungen., .

Information (ISSN 2078-2489) is an international, scientific open access journal of information science and technology, data, knowledge and communication. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds copies of source codes (if any) might be deposited
