Costa, Cybernetic Vision Research Group, IFSC - University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, J. Daugman, The Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK, and M. D. Levine, Centre for Intelligent Machines, McGill University, Canada *Aims and Scope*: While artificial approaches to real-time vision have enjoyed rather limited success, biological vision systems have for millions of years been excelling in these very same tasks. In fact, There is no doubt that real-time solutions to the most challenging problems in image understanding can be found in biological systems. However, they have been concealed by nature and thus far the neural code has not been broken. Novel results from neuroscience, which have to a large extent focused on visual processing and been catalysed by advances in computer science and technology, provide a wealth of insights that should not be overlooked by the researcher in computer vision. This Special Issue will concentrate on the interplay between natural and artificial vision as a means of contributing, not only to a better understanding of biological visual systems, but also as a means of obtaining more powerful and versatile real-time artificial solutions to vision problems. Submissions reporting developments on such issues, and focusing on their real-time aspects, are welcome. Prospective authors are invited to submit four copies of laser-printed manuscripts written in English to Alexander Stoyenko at the address below before 15th October 1995. All submissions should conform to the format adopted by the Real-Time Imaging periodical. *Submission deadline*: 15th October 1995 *Areas covered include but are not limited to*: 2 H * Computer Vision * Biologically-inspired methods and architectures * Active Vision 2 H * Computational aspects of Neuroscience * Pattern recognition * Optical computing * Simulation and Modelling *Address for submission*: Alexander D. Stoyenko, Co-Editor-in-Chief, REAL-TIME IMAGING, P.O. Box 668 Millwood, New York, 10546 USA jrti(a)rtlab12.njit.edu ======================================================================== INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: The submission of a manuscript will be taken to imply that the material is original and has not been submitted in equivalent form for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts are accepted for review on the understanding that all persons listed as authors have given their approval for the submission, and that any person cited as a source of personal communication has approved such citation. To speed handling, please supply your telephone, fax and e-mail address, together with your mailing address. Articles and other materials published in Real-Time Imaging represent the opinions of the authors, and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editors or Publisher. Copyright permission Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, exclusive copyright in the article shall be assigned to the publisher. The publisher will not put any limitation on the personal freedom of the author to use material contained in the paper in other works. Manuscript preparation If the manuscript is being submitted in paper form, it should be typewritten, double-spaced with one inch margins on all sides, using 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper, one side only. Each page of the manuscript should be numbered, and illustrations, tables and listings should be attached separately at the end with an appropriate caption list. One illustration or table should appear per page. Articles should be concise and in English. An abstract must accompany each manuscript and should not normally exceed 200-500 words. It should be intelligible to the general reader without reference to the main text. No references or abbreviations should be used in the abstract. Style The journal will use the style described for IEEE transactions Tables and figures All figures must be cited in the text and the legends should be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals. Legends should be sufficiently detailed to allow understanding without reference to the text. One colour illustration per paper is permitted. Footnotes Footnotes should be used sparingly and indicated by consecutive numbers in the text. Acknowledgments should be included at the end of the text, and not as footnotes. References References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text in square brackets. If cited in tables or figure legends, references are to be numbered according to position in the manuscript. In the reference list, all authors should be cited. Corrections Authors are expected to correct and return page proofs to the Publisher within a week of receipt. Authors are responsible for the costs of changes, additions or corrections other than the printer's or publisher's errors, although the publisher may waive such charges. Reprints Authors will receive fifty offprints free of charge. =================================== END OF MESSAGE -------------- --- End of forwarded mail from "Luciano da F.Costa" <LUCIANO(a)ifqsc.sc.usp.br>
