This conference focuses on the study of image quality for electronic system specification, measurement and design. Application areas include image capture, compression, digital and conventional printing, display technologies and video. Papers are welcome on current image quality research and applications including:

Image quality understanding, measurement, simulation and modeling

• color and spatial attribute characterization and metrics
• attributes integration and interactions
• image defect simulation
• system image quality simulation and modeling
• image quality based system tolerancing.

Subjective image quality evaluation and modeling

• psychophysics
• psychometric scaling and modeling
• preference measurement and modeling
• sampling theory and statistics for image quality survey design and analysis
• subjective measurement for vision based modeling evaluation
• web-based image quality survey, measurement, modeling and management.

Image quality standards for capture, print and display

• emerging standards for image quality
• digital versus analogue standards
• performance of existing and proposed standards

System performance and modeling

• modeling and analysis of advances in image acquisition, sampling and encoding
• quality of computer based processing
• extraction of image quality measures from digital images
• instrumentation and industrial measurement systems
• measurement of print and display microstructure (dots, edges, color, resolution, distortion, etc).
• technology dependent characterization (banding, streaking, etc)
• image noise analysis and color error propagation
• methods for system performance benchmarking
• methods for system performance measurement and control
• balancing image quality against cost, features and reliability

Image quality evaluation for other emerging technologies

• multispectral imaging
• image quality assessment for machine recognition
• document layout aesthetics.

When considering whether to submit a paper, potential authors are advised to also consider related conferences on Human Vision and Electronic Imaging, and Color and Imaging: Processing, Hardcopy and Applications.
