IJSISE covers theoretical, experimental and applied aspects of the engineering design of signal and imaging systems, with emphasis on signal generation and image formation mechanisms, transmission, sensing, analysis and processing, and post-processing algorithms. IJSISE provides the interface between basic research, algorithms and techniques in signal and image processing/analysis/transmission on one side and integral systems on the other. State-of-the-art systems analysis, design, integration, evaluation, standardisation, and the development of algorithms evaluated towards building such systems are the journal's primary focus.

    Objectives

    The objectives of IJSISE are to establish an effective communications channel between researchers, developers and professionals from both academia and industry so that they could report on the latest scientific and theoretical advances on applied signal and imaging systems, discuss and debate major issues, demonstrate and evaluate real world state-of-the-art-systems. It aims at helping professionals and systems developers to manage suitable techniques and algorithms in their system integration, evaluation, benchmarking and standardization, and also researchers on the algorithm design level to view the practical aspects of their techniques in complex systems applications.

    Readership

    IJSISE provides a vehicle to help professionals, engineers, academics, researchers working in the field of signal and image processing/analysis/transmission to disseminate information on state-of-the-art techniques and their management, evaluation, benchmarking and standardization mainly when applied as integral parts of real world signal and imaging systems.

    Contents

    IJSISE publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, book reviews, research notes and news on the design, development, evaluation, testing, and standardisation of signal and imaging state-of-the-art-devices, systems and techniques. Special issues devoted to important topics in signal and imaging systems engineering and management as well as to international events on these topics, will also be published.
