IAPR Publications

Pattern Recognition Letters main features are concise articles, rapid publication and a broad coverage of the pattern recognition literature. The subject matter of PRL covers the interests represented in the technical committees of IAPR. In those fields, the papers may emphasize theory, methodology, empirical studies or applications.

PRL is a refereed journal. Originality, quality and clarity are the criteria for article acceptance. PRL (ISSN 0167-8655) is published monthly by Elsevier Science B.V. General information for authors is available through the Elsevier Editorial System (EES).

Machine Vision and Applications publishes high-quality technical contributions in machine vision research and development. Original contributions dealing with scientific, commercial, industrial, military, and biomedical applications of machine vision, are within the scope of the journal.

Particular emphasis is placed on engineering and technology aspects (algorithms, architecture, VLSI implementations, AI techniques and expert systems, languages, fron-end sensing, multidimensional and multisensor machine vision, real-time techniques, image databases and virtual reality) of image processing and computer vision. MV&A is the IAPR sponsored publication since January 1995. MV&A is published bimonthly by Springer Verlag.

The International Journal on Document Analysis and Recognition is focused in publishing articles dedicated to document analysis and recognition. This includes contributions dealing with computer recognition of characters, symbols, text, lines, graphics, images, handwriting, signatures, as well as automatic analyses of the overall physical and logical structures of documents, with the ultimate objective of a high-level understanding of their semantic content.

The journal publishes articles of four primary types – original research papers, correspondence, overviews and summaries, and system descriptions. Special issues on active areas of research will be encouraged.

Possible topics include:

• Document Image Processing
• Document Models
• Handwriting Models and Analysis
• Character and Word Recognition
• Symbol Recognition
• On-line Recognition
• Pen-based Computing
• Multi-lingual Processing
