Choraś R.S. (ed.) Image Processing & Communications Challenges 6

Springer, 2015. — 328 p.It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the proceedings of the 6th International Image Processing and Communications Conference (IP&C 2014) held in Bydgoszcz, 10–12 September 2014.
At the same time is growing interest in Image Processing and Communications and its applications in science, engineering, medical image analysis and biometrics.
IP&C is a central topic in contemporary computer and IT science and are interdisciplinary areas, where researchers and practitioners may find interesting problems which can be successfully solved.
The present book includes a set of papers on actual problems of research and application of image processing and communications technologies. I sincerely hope that this book provides a good view into research presented at the IP&C 2014 Conference and will offer opportunities for professional growth.
