Vision Research special issue on “Visual attention”

This is the first of two parts of a special issue on the topic of ‘‘Visual attention’’. The second part of the special issue, which will be published shortly, will provide a thematic outline of the papers in both parts. The papers presented in this special issue are based on the Third International Workshop in Visual Attention that took place in October 2011 at the University of Allahabad in In...

50th Anniversary special issue of vision research

The inaugural issue of Vision Research was published, with little fanfare, in June 1961 – 50 years ago. In the Preface, Thorn Shipley wrote: ‘‘The lack of a special journal in this field has been found to be increasingly awkward. Vision Research is therefore planned directly to fill this gap. However, it is not intended to encourage the isolation of the eye from the other senses, neither in its...

Special issue on neural networks for computer vision applications

This paper presents a novel approach to the segmentation and integration of (radar) images using a secondorder recurrent arti cial neural network architecture consisting of two sub-networks: a function network that classi es radar measurements into four di erent categories of objects in sea environments (water, oil spills, land and boats), and a context network that dynamically computes the fun...

Image and vision computing journal special issue on multimodal biometrics

Since its beginning in 2003, the International Summer School on Biometrics proved to be a unique forum, where advanced research students and lecturers in biometrics gathered together for a full week of study in several aspects of the science and technology of biometric recognition. This special issue includes some contributions of the school lecturers and the school students. The papers include...
