Machine GRAPHICS & VISION International Journal

ISSN 1230-0535

Machine GRAPHICS & VISION is a refereed international journal, published quarterly by the Institute of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, providing a scientific exchange forum and an authoritative source of information in the field of, in general, pictorial information exchange between computers and their environment, including applications of visual and graphical computer systems.

The journal concentrates on theoretical and computational models underlying computer generated, analysed, or otherwise processed imagery, in particular:

• image processing
• scene analysis, modeling, and understanding
• machine vision
• pattern matching and pattern recognition
• image synthesis, including three-dimensional imaging and solid modeling
• computer-aided graphic arts and animation
• mathematical approaches to image processing, analysis, and synthesis
• computational geometry
• image models and transforms
• visualization and graphical data presentation
• diagrammatic knowledge representation and reasoning
• monocular and stereo vision
• modeling of human visual perception
• innovative uses of various graphic and vision devices and systems

• original research papers
• tutorial papers
• state-of-the-art surveys
• reports on work in progress
• research direction proposals
