Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute a chapter for our upcoming volume
entitled Color Image and Video Enhancement to be published by Springer
sometime in mid 2015.

Below is a short description of the volume:

Enhancement of digital images and video sequences is the process of increasing
the quality of the visual information by improving its visibility and
perceptibility. Enhancement is a necessary step in image/video processing
applications when the conditions under which a scene is captured result in
quality degradation, e.g., increased/decreased brightness and/or contrast,
distortion of colors, and introduction of noise and other artifacts such as
blotches and streaks.

Unfortunately, most of the traditional enhancement methods are designed for
monochromatic image/video data. The multivariate nature of color image/video
data presents considerable challenges for researchers and practitioners as the
numerous methods developed for single channel data are often not directly
applicable to multichannel data.

The goal of this volume is to summarize the state-of-the-art in color image and
video enhancement. Topics of interest include:

- Contrast enhancement
- Color correction (equalization, harmonization, normalization, balancing,
constancy, etc.)
- Noise removal and smoothing
- Restoration, inpainting, and colorization
- Superresolution
- Color and contrast enhancement in vision sensors
- Applications
