  Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics
  Special Issue on Statistical Image and Signal Processing

  An image is worth a thousand words, and the information images provide
  influences the most important decisions we take every instant of our
  lives. Signals carry information, and our society is known as the
  Information Society. Statistics has much to do about image and
  signals, and this special issue aims at providing a forum for recent
  advances on this fertile area.

  This special issue is an opportunity to gather recent results in these
  broad areas of image and signal processing and analysis, that stems
  from models for forthcoming imaging devices to high-level techniques
  for image and video storage and retrieval. This is a multidisciplinary
  research field, with important connections with signal processing,
  statistics, computer vision and robotics, to name only a few, and a
  wide spectrum of applications, e.g., remote sensing, surveillance and
  medical and industrial imaging.

  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to innovative results in
    * statistical models in image and signal processing, new sensors
  and technologies
    * inference on images and signals: parametric, semiparametric and
  nonparametric
    * statistical techniques for handling large and huge databases,
  and KDD (knowledge discovery in databases) for visual information
    * statistical techniques for rendering and visualization (NPR -
  non photorealistic rendering, etc.)
    * resampling methods in image and signal analysis
    * statistical shape analysis
    * statistics in bioinformatics

  These topics aim at covering all the stages of the visual information
  processing chain, from image formation to image understanding, and at
  covering all possible techniques and models, from signal processing to
  hybrid artificial intelligence techniques.
