Recent studies have found intelligent pattern recognition applications for computer vision and biomedical signal processing can be used to solve variety of real life problems. Computer vision and biomedical signal processing has rapidly transitioned from a research topic with few commercial applications to a mainstream technology with applications in virtually every sector of our economy. The integration of computer vision and biomedical signal processing technologies has become a topic of increasing interest for both researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide. It is foreseeable that intelligent pattern recognition applications will be the main approach of the next generation. The explosive number of intelligent pattern recognition algorithms and increasing computational power of computers has significantly extended the number of potential intelligent pattern recognition applications for computer vision and biomedical signal processing.
Computer vision mainly involves the study of extracting information from images captured using robot vision, smart video surveillance, multi-media image search, camera-based human computer interfaces. Biomedical signal processing involves the analysis of heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation levels, blood glucose, nerve conduction and brain activity to provide useful information upon which clinicians can make decisions. It further emphasis on practical, applications-led research on the use of methods and devices in clinical diagnosis, patient monitoring and management. This special issue intends to bring together researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide working in the broad areas of computer vision and biomedical signal processing and promote community-wide discussion of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the field for the betterment of human mankind.

Paper submission:
Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation, relevance and novelty, as well as their suitability to the special issue, and for their overall quality, giving preference to those with accompanying data, demo, and software. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at:
http://www.elsevier.com/journals/pattern-recognition-letters/0167-8655/guide-for-authors
The submission website for this journal is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/prletters/default.asp. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue, it is important that authors select “SI: IPRABSP” when they reach the “Article Type Name” step in the submission process. Note that a maximum of 10 pages in the Journal layout is admitted for special issue papers.
Review process
Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. The review process will be done by following the standard review process of Pattern Recognition Letters. Each paper will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field. In general, only two reviewing rounds will be possible, out of which major revision is possible only for the first round. Papers that after the 2nd reviewing round still need major revision will be rejected.
