About the journal
The Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision is a technical journal publishing important new developments in mathematical imaging. The journal publishes research articles, invited papers, and expository articles. Current developments in new image processing hardware, the advent of multisensor data fusion, and rapid advances in vision research have led to an explosive growth in the interdisciplinary field of imaging science. This growth has resulted in the development of highly sophisticated mathematical models and theories. The journal emphasizes the role of mathematics as a rigorous basis for imaging science. This provides a sound alternative to present journals in this area. Contributions are judged on the basis of mathematical content. Articles may be physically speculative but need to be mathematically sound. Emphasis is placed on innovative or established mathematical techniques applied to vision and imaging problems in a novel way, as well as new developments and problems in mathematics arising from these applications. The scope of the journal includes:
- computational models of vision; imaging algebra and mathematical morphology
- mathematical methods in reconstruction, compactification, and coding
- filter theory
- probabilistic, statistical, geometric, topological, and fractal techniques and models in imaging science
- inverse optics
- wave theory.
Specific application areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- all aspects of image formation and representation
- medical, biological, industrial, geophysical, astronomical and military imaging
- image analysis and image understanding
- parallel and distributed computing
- computer vision architecture design.
The journal emphasizes its commitment to present coverage in these areas which span the interest of a global audience. The Editorial Board publishes manuscripts that are wellwritten and make a significant technical contribution.
Instructions to Authors
Papers should be well organized, clearly written, and meet the aims and scope of the journal. Correct English grammar and style is a basic requirement for publication. Poorly written papers place an unnecessary burden on the referees and the editors reserve the right to reject such papers without technical review.
Mathematical research results should be verified by providing proofs or citation of appropriate references. Conjectures and claims based on empirical evidence should include discussions of experimental results and methodology.
Manuscripts to be published will be divided into four categories: Regular Papers, Invited Papers, Survey Papers, and Short Papers. Short papers differ from regular papers in that they are relatively short - 10 double-spaced manuscript pages or less. Short papers will go through the same rigorous reviewing process as regular papers. Like regular papers, they may represent new ideas or techniques. Alternatively, they may comment on another paper normally published in JMIV or they may extend the results of that other paper. Invited papers are usually solicited for special topic issues. Survey papers should not only provide a thorough survey of an area of specialization that can serve as a reference to the audience of JMIV, but should also address the future direction and open problems associated with the field of discussion.
Process for Submission
- Authors should submit six hard copies of their final manuscript to:
JMIV - Editorial Office/Michelle Misner Kluwer Academic Publishers 101 Philip Drive Assinippi Park Norwell, MA 02061, U.S.A. Tel: 781-871-6300 Fax: 781-878-0449 E-mail: Michelle.Misner@wkap.com
For prompt attention, all correspondence can be directed to this address.
- Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five key words. Some typical key word examples are: image algebra, image formation and restoration, linear and nonlinear image, and industrial imaging.
- Enclose originals for the illustrations, see "Style for Illustrations", for one copy of the manuscript. Photocopies of the figures may accompany the remaining copies of the manuscript. Alternatively, original illustrations may be submitted after the paper has been accepted. Upon acceptance of the paper, authors must supply a brief biographical sketch.
- Enclose a separate page giving the preferred address of the contact author for correspondence and return of proofs. Please include a telephone number, a fax number, and an e-mail address.
- The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.
- Authors should try to keep the length of the paper (including figures) under 36 double spaced pages.
- All papers should be written in English.
Style for Manuscript
- Typeset, double space in English; use one side of sheet only (laser printed, typewritten, and good quality duplications are acceptable). Our LaTeX style file offers a draft mode for this purpose.
- Use an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of 100 to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should be a carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with the article.
- Provide a separate double-spaced sheet listing all footnotes, beginning with "Affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered footnotes. Acknowledgment of financial support may be given if appropriate.
- References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper. They should be referred to by numerals in square brackets, e.g., [12]. References should be complete, in the following style:
Style for papers: Author(s) initials followed by last name for each author, paper title, publication name, volume, inclusive page numbers, month and year. Style for books: Author(s), title, publisher, location, year, chapter or page numbers (if desired). Examples as follows:
- Book:
D. Marr, Vision, A Computational Investigation into the Human Representation Processing of Visual Information, Freeman: San Francisco, CA, 1982.
- Journal Article:
A. Rosenfeld and M. Thurston, "Edge and curve detection for visual scene analysis," IEEE Trans. Comput., Vol. D-20, pp. 562-569, 1971.
- Conference Proceedings
A. Witkin, "Scales space filtering," in Proc. Int. Joint Conf. on Artif. Intell., Karlsruhe, West Germany, 1983, pp. 1019-1021.
- Lab. memo
A.L. Yuille and T. Poggio, "Scaling theorems for zero crossings," MIT Artif. Intell. Lab., Massachusetts Inst. Technol., Cambridge, MA, A.I. Memo 722, 1983.
- Type or mark mathematical expressions exactly as they should appear in print. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: Variables, italic type (indicated by underline); constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy underline). In word-processor manuscripts, use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line.
Organization of Paper
- Title. Brief and to the point to inform the readers of the subject.
- Abstract. A concise, informative, and lucid digest of the paper, preferably 100-250 words. This will eliminate the need for a summary.
- Introduction. The introduction should orient the reader to the purpose and scope of the paper. It should provide the motivation for the paper and clearly indicate the relationship between the research described and previous relative work.
- Results and Discussion. This section should be a clear and concise account of the research accomplishments. The main theorems and results should be contained in this section. However, in order to ease communication of research results and make the paper readable to a wide audience, long intricate proofs and proofs of minor lemmas and theorems needed to establish the main results should be presented in an Appendix.
- Appendices. This section should contain material that may have prevented easy communication of research accomplishments. Examples of lengthy or intricate proofs of theorems, statements of lemmas and minor theorems, complicated or lengthy algorithms, and complex details of experiments.
Style for Illustrations
- Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
- Line drawings should be in laser printer output or in India ink on paper, or board. Use 8 1/2 x 11" (22 x 29cm) inch size sheets if possible, to simplify handling of the manuscript.
- Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text, but place the figure itself on a separate page following the text.
- Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure" for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text, but place the table itself on a separate page following the text. Type a brief title above each table.
- All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
- Photographs should be glossy prints, of good contrast and gradation, and any reasonable size.
- Number each original on the back.
- Provide a separate sheet listing all figure captions, in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., "Fig.3. Examples of the fault coverage of random vectors in (a) combinational and (b) sequential circuits."
- Color illustrations will be accepted for publication. However, the cost of publishing color illustrations will be charged to the author. Authors should inquire about cost from the publisher before submitting a color illustration.
