It is the policy of the Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision (JMIV) to exchange parts of its editorial board on a regular basis. This keeps us flexible to react to the ongoing changes in our scientific community, and it allows eminent scientists who have supported JMIV as authors and excellent reviewers to shape the future of our journal. Occasionally, some board members also have to stop their activities due to other commitments.

Some recent changes in our editorial board have taken place: The appointments of Leo Dorst, Michael Felsberg, Artyom M. Grigoryan, and Riccardo March have come to an end. I am very grateful for their time and the expertise they have invested as associate editors.

In that context, I have the pleasure to introduce five new editorial board members.

JMIV has a long tradition of being a premier publication platform for new results on discrete image analysis, and we are witnessing an increasing number of submissions in this area. Accordingly, our editorial board has been reinforced by three additional scientists: Partha Bhowmick (IIT Kharagpur, India), Krzysztof Chris Ciesielski (West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, USA), and David Coeurjolly (CNRS, Université de Lyon, France). Partha Bhowmick and David Coeurjolly are experts on digital geometry, who can also cover related fields such as computational topology, as well as applications in computer graphics or computational geometry. David Coeurjolly has already served as guest editor of a previous and a forthcoming topical issue on Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery. Krzysztof Chris Ciesielski will strengthen our board in the areas of graph-based image analysis, data clustering, fuzzy object modeling, distance transforms, and medical applications.

Beijing Chen (Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China) is going to provide valuable expertise in several fields that were underrepresented in our editorial board, such as moment invariants and image steganography. It should also be mentioned that he is the first author of the most cited JMIV article in 2015.

Michael Breuß (BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, Germany) is an expert on shape analysis, in particular shape from shading, with additional experience in mathematical morphology and numerical algorithms for image analysis. He has been one of our most dedicated reviewers in the last years.

I welcome all new editorial board members and thank them for taking over this important responsibility, and I look forward to a fruitful collaboration.
