The 4th EURASIP Conference focused on Video/Image Processing
and Multimedia Communications (EC-VIP-MC) will be held at the

tradition of conferences, each devoted to a specific area of
discipline. The 2003 EURASIP Conference is the fourth biennial

Croatia. The first conference was organised in Prague, Czech
Republic (1997), second in Krakow, Poland (1999), third in
Budapest Hungary (2001). The aim of the EC-VIP-MC is to promote
the interface of researchers involved in the development and
application of methods and techniques within the framework of
