Technical Program Chairs' overview

Welcome to the 2012 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), the 19th in the series of ICIPs. We hope you find ICIP inspiring and rewarding both for the knowledge you gain of advances in Image and Video processing through the conference technical presentations, and for the equally valuable “side information” that comes from personal interactions and hallway conversations with colleagues and friends, old and new, that you meet here.
