Artificial Intelligence Innovations in Image Processing

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has profoundly impacted numerous scientific fields, with image processing standing out as a particularly transformative area. Modern AI-driven image processing techniques, such as deep learning and neural networks, have revolutionized how images are analyzed, enhanced, and interpreted across a wide range of applications, from medical diagnostics to autonomous driving. The integration of AI into image processing not only improves accuracy and efficiency but also opens up new avenues for research and application that were previously thought impossible.

This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest innovations and research in the use of AI in image processing. It seeks to bring together pioneering studies and reviews that explore cutting-edge AI technologies, their application in image processing, and the challenges and solutions associated with these advancements. The Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their insights, findings, and predictions about the future of image processing technologies. As AI continues to evolve, its integration with image processing will likely play a pivotal role in the advancement of many scientific and industrial fields, aligning perfectly with the journal’s scope of highlighting innovative and impactful research.

Here is a list of suggested themes for contributions to this Special Issue. Please note that the themes listed here are not exhaustive, and we encourage submissions that explore other innovative aspects of AI in image processing.
