+================================
+oneAPI Community Forum Image SIG
+================================
+
+The Image SIG hosts discussions and presentations for fundamental
+image processing routines for high-performance computing, engineering,
+financial, and other applications.
+
+This SIG discusses the oneAPI Image Processing Library (oneIPL),
+currently in the planning and spec development stage. Its goal is to
+become an extensive library of ready-to-use, highly optimized image
+processing functions. As part of oneAPI, oneIPL is designed to allow
+execution on various computational devices: CPUs, GPUs, and other
+accelerators. The functionality is subdivided into several domains:
+filers, geometry transformations, and color and type conversions.
+
+Its royalty-free APIs help developers:
+
+1. Use vectorization and SIMD (single instruction, multiple data)
+   instructions on CPU and GPU.
+
+2. Use CPU threading and GPU SIMT (single instruction, multiple
+   threads).
+
+3. Improve the performance of computation-intensive applications with
+   pipelines involving image processing and other operations provided
+   as DPC++ kernel or oneAPI libraries.
+
+In addition to domain-specific functionality, the Image SIG may also
+discuss overall design features like the execution model, memory
+model, or error handling. At times, the open source oneIPL Interfaces
+project, which implements the oneIPL specification, may also be
+discussed.
+
+The Image SIG is led by John Melonakos.
