On September 11-14, 2011 the IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) will take place at the SQUARE Brussels Meeting Centre in Brussels, Belgium. ICIP is organized annually by the IEEE Signal Processing society. The conference is the premier forum for the presentation of technological advances and research results in the fields of theoretical, experimental, and applied image and video processing. ICIP 2011, the eighteenth in the series that has been held annually since 1994, will bring together leading engineers and scientists in image processing from around the world. About 1100 attendees will attend the conference. The conference is organized by Professors Benoit Macq and Peter Schelkens, respectively representing the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL), Department of Communications and Remote Sensing Laboratory (TELE), and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Department of Electronics and Informatics (ETRO).
This year the conference has received 2245 paper submissions from 67 countries spread all over the globe. The Asia/Pacific region provided 44.4% of the authors, Europe, the Middle East and Africa 37.0%, North America 15.6%, and Latin America 3.0%. The organizing committee had all submitted papers subjected to peer evaluation by 1113 volunteers who were selected based on their expertise area. 40% of the regular papers have been accepted and are presented in 48 lectures and 42 poster sessions.
The ICIP 2011 technical program focuses on research topics such as image and video coding and transmission, image and video processing, visual rendering, image reconstruction, storage, image retrieval and authentication. Members of the ICIP community have had as significant impact on nowadays image and video applications and standards. Technologies such as JPEG, a compression format for images that has been adopted by all digital cameras and social media apps, or H.264 video compression, the compression format for digital television are only few examples of technologies which color our daily live and which have originated out of this community. Other examples are reconstruction techniques and computer aided diagnosis tools for medical imagery; the impact on nowadays and future medicine practice in the context of e.g. cancer treatment and detection, or pathology is enormous.
Four plenary lectures are addressing the main themes of the conference: human computer interfacing, cultural heritage and astronomy. We are therefore delighted to announce the following plenary lectures at this year’s ICIP conference:
- “Seeing and the Brain”, by Prof. Brian Wandell from Stanford University, USA.
- “Sparsity and Astronomical Data Analysis”, by Dr. Jean-Luc Starck from the Commission for Atomic Energy (CEA), France.
- “Robust Fingerprinting and its Applications to Content Identification” by Pierre Moulin (University of Illinois) and Ton Kalker (Huawei Technologies)
- “Distinguishing the ‘Hand’ of the Master?,” by Prof. Ingrid Daubechies from Duke University, USA.
The conference kicks off on Sunday, 11th September, with 5 state-of-the-art tutorials on vibrant research topics in image processing among which a session on depth sensing camera’s that can be useful for a plethora of applications (game consoles, surveillance, patient observation…).
The ICIP 2011 program also offers special sessions covering key research topics on the newest technologies in application domains such as video coding, microscopy for medicine and biology, astronomy and cosmology, web-scale image annotation.
To recognize top research results, ICIP 2011 includes two types of awards: the Best Paper Award, supported by Hewlett-Packard and the Best Student Paper Awards, supported by Huawei, Barco and Wiley-Blackwell.
