Due to rapid advancements in integrated circuit technology, the rich theoretical results that have been developed by the image and video processing research community are now being increasingly applied in practical systems to solve real-world image and video processing problems. Such systems involve constraints placed not only on their size, cost, and power consumption, but also on the timeliness of the image data processed.

Examples of such systems are mobile phones, digital still/video/cell-phone cameras, portable media players, personal digital assistants, high-definition television, video surveillance systems, industrial visual inspection systems, medical imaging devices, vision-guided autonomous robots, spectral imaging systems, and many other real-time embedded systems. In these real-time systems, strict timing requirements demand that results are available within a certain interval of time as imposed by the application.

It is often the case that an image processing algorithm is developed and proven theoretically sound, presumably with a specific application in mind, but its practical applications and the detailed steps, methodology, and trade-off analysis required to achieve its real-time performance are not fully explored, leaving these critical and usually non-trivial issues for those wishing to employ the algorithm in a real-time system.

The Journal of Real-Time Image Processing is intended to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of image processing, serving the greater community of researchers, practicing engineers, and industrial professionals who deal with designing, implementing or utilizing image processing systems which must satisfy real-time design constraints.

由于集成电路技术的快速发展，图像和视频处理研究界开发的丰富理论成果现在越来越多地应用于实际系统，以解决现实世界的图像和视频处理问题。此类系统不仅对其尺寸、成本和功耗有限制，而且对所处理的图像数据的时效性也有限制。

此类系统的示例包括移动电话、数字静态/视频/手机相机、便携式媒体播放器、个人数字助理、高清电视、视频监控系统、工业视觉检测系统、医学成像设备、视觉引导自主机器人、光谱成像系统以及许多其他实时嵌入式系统。在这些实时系统中，严格的时间要求要求在应用程序规定的特定时间间隔内提供结果。

通常情况下，图像处理算法的开发和理论验证是合理的，大概是考虑到了特定的应用，但其实际应用以及实现实时性能所需的详细步骤、方法和权衡分析尚未得到充分探索，这些关键且通常不平凡的问题留给了那些希望在实时系统中使用该算法的人。

《实时图像处理杂志》旨在弥合图像处理理论与实践之间的差距，服务于更广泛的研究人员、执业工程师和工业专业人士，他们负责设计、实施或使用必须满足实时设计约束的图像处理系统。
