Digital Imaging Processing, Sensing, and Object Recognition

Dear Colleagues,

Digital image processing, a critical component of modern sensor systems, involves the manipulation and interpretation of images by computers. It plays a pivotal role in various fields, from environmental monitoring to medical diagnostics, offering enhanced capabilities when analyzing and understanding visual data. Object recognition, on the other hand, involves identifying and classifying objects within images, and is a key function in automated systems and AI-driven applications.

This Special Issue aims to present research that bridges the gap between advanced image processing techniques and the practical challenges of object recognition, highlighting innovative approaches and applications in sensor technology. We encourage submissions that not only present novel research but also demonstrate the practical implications and potential sensor applications of digital image processing and object recognition.

We invite contributions that explore novel methodologies, algorithms, and applications in areas including, but not limited to, the following:

• Advanced algorithms for image segmentation, enhancement, and reconstruction.
• Deep learning and machine learning approaches for object detection and classification.
• The integration of image processing in sensor networks for real-time analysis.
• The application of image processing in autonomous systems, such as drones and robots.
• Techniques for 3D object recognition and modeling.
• Image processing in challenging environments (such as underwater, aerial, and low-light environments).
• Multi-spectral and hyper-spectral imaging for object identification.
• Real-world applications in security, surveillance, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and more.
• Ethical considerations and privacy issues in object recognition systems.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
