Color perception plays an important role in object recognition and scene     
understanding both for humans and intelligent vision systems. Recent advances     
in digital color imaging and computer hardware technology have led to an     
explosion in the use of color images in a variety of applications including     
medical imaging, content-based image retrieval, biometrics, watermarking,     
digital inpainting, remote sensing, digital multimedia, visual quality     
inspection, among many others. As a result, automated processing and analysis     
of color images has become an active area of research, which is witnessed by     
the large number of publications during the past two decades. The multivariate     
nature of color image data presents new challenges for researchers and     
practitioners as the numerous methods developed for single channel images are     
often not directly applicable to multichannel images.     
The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers and     
practitioners working in the area of Color Image Processing. We are soliciting     
original contributions, which address a wide range of theoretical and practical     
issues related to the early stages of the Color Image Processing pipeline     
including, but not limited to: 
   
* Color Image Coding and Compression     
* Color Image Quantization and Halftoning     
* Color Image Filtering and Enhancement     
* Color Morphology     
* Color Edge Detection     
* Color Image Segmentation     
* Digital Camera Image Processing (Demosaicking, Zooming, Postprocessing, etc.)     
* Multispectral Image Processing     
* Applications and Future Trends 
   
PAPER SUBMISSION     
Prospective authors are invited to submit either long papers up to 10 pages in     
length, or short papers up to 4 pages in length. The long papers will be for     
the single-track oral presentation, whereas the short ones will be mostly for     
poster presentation. In submitting a manuscript to APSIPA ASC, the authors     
acknowledge that no paper substantially similar in content has been or will be     
submitted to another conference during the review period. Paper submissions can     
be made at https://splab.cs.kitami-it.ac.jp/apsipa2009/user/action.php
