Summary

This title collects refereed papers submitted to the Third Solar Image Processing Workshop, (6-8 September, 2006, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland). The workshop brought together researchers in image processing and solar physics to focus on the challenges presented by new ground-based and space-based instrumentation. Topics covered include image enhancement, automated feature detection, machine learning and visualization tools in support of solar physics.
