圖像和視覺計算的主要目的是為高質(zhì)量的理論和應(yīng)用研究結(jié)果提供有效的交換媒介，這是圖像解釋和計算機視覺各方面的基礎(chǔ)。該雜志發(fā)表的工作，提出新的圖像解釋和計算機視覺方法，或解決這些方法的應(yīng)用到現(xiàn)實世界的場景。它試圖通過鼓勵對擬議方法的定量比較和績效評估，加強對該學(xué)科的深入了解。覆蓋范圍包括：圖像解釋、場景建模、目標識別和跟蹤、形狀分析、監(jiān)控和監(jiān)視、主動視覺和機器人系統(tǒng)、SLAM、生物啟發(fā)的計算機視覺、運動分析、立體視覺、文檔圖像理解、字符和手寫文本識別、面部和手勢重認。人工智能、生物識別、基于視覺的人機交互、人類活動和行為理解、來自多傳感器輸入的數(shù)據(jù)融合、圖像數(shù)據(jù)庫。除了常規(guī)的手稿外，《圖像與視覺計算》雜志還為“意見”欄目征集手稿，目的是為視覺研究者建立一個自由的論壇，表達他們對過去、現(xiàn)在或?qū)碓谘芯亢蜕鐓^(qū)中的成功和挑戰(zhàn)的看法。一篇意見書應(yīng)該簡明扼要，重點放在一個特定的主題上。如果這有助于說明問題，那么解決多個相關(guān)主題也是可能的。提出問題有助于提高人們對某些問題的認識，理想情況下，一份意見書還應(yīng)建議如何解決這些問題的具體方向。感興趣的主題包括但不限于：對計算機視覺（子）領(lǐng)域的成功和挑戰(zhàn)的評論，計算機視覺新前沿述評對當前研究實踐和趨勢的觀察，以及克服不滿意方面的建議對社區(qū)當前做法和趨勢的觀察，如審查過程、組織會議、期刊如何運行，以及解決不滿意方面的建議。對可能已經(jīng)過時的早期開創(chuàng)性工作的評論研究路線的演變概述對新一代視覺研究人員的教育建議。意見書的格式應(yīng)符合圖像和視覺計算期刊提交的現(xiàn)有格式指南，且不得超過2頁。出版月份：一月/二月、三月、四月、五月、六月、七月/八月、九月、十月、十一月和十二月。

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.
