圖像和視覺計(jì)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(jì)算機(jī)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(jì)算機(jī)視覺方法，或解決這些方法的應(yīng)用到現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的場(chǎng)景。它試圖通過鼓勵(lì)對(duì)擬議方法的定量比較和績(jī)效評(píng)估，加強(qiáng)對(duì)該學(xué)科的深入了解。覆蓋范圍包括：圖像解釋、場(chǎng)景建模、目標(biāo)識(shí)別和跟蹤、形狀分析、監(jiān)控和監(jiān)視、主動(dòng)視覺和機(jī)器人系統(tǒng)、SLAM、生物啟發(fā)的計(jì)算機(jī)視覺、運(yùn)動(dòng)分析、立體視覺、文檔圖像理解、字符和手寫文本識(shí)別、面部和手勢(shì)重認(rèn)。人工智能、生物識(shí)別、基于視覺的人機(jī)交互、人類活動(dòng)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(jì)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(gè)自由的論壇，表達(dá)他們對(duì)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(jiǎn)明扼要，重點(diǎn)放在一個(gè)特定的主題上。如果這有助于說明問題，那么解決多個(gè)相關(guān)主題也是可能的。提出問題有助于提高人們對(duì)某些問題的認(rèn)識(shí)，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(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)視覺（子）領(lǐng)域的成功和挑戰(zhàn)的評(píng)論，計(jì)算機(jī)視覺新前沿述評(píng)對(duì)當(dāng)前研究實(shí)踐和趨勢(shì)的觀察，以及克服不滿意方面的建議對(duì)社區(qū)當(dāng)前做法和趨勢(shì)的觀察，如審查過程、組織會(huì)議、期刊如何運(yùn)行，以及解決不滿意方面的建議。對(duì)可能已經(jīng)過時(shí)的早期開創(chuàng)性工作的評(píng)論研究路線的演變概述對(duì)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(jì)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.
