Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The convergence of mobile sensing technologies with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) unlocks a transformative future. This powerful combination empowers a vast array of applications that can radically improve productivity, safety, health, and efficiency across diverse sectors like smart industry, healthcare, sports, and education.

Imagine a smart industry transformed by mobile wearables and sensing technologies that seamlessly sense and monitor processes and workers, creating a safer and more productive environment. Machine learning can elevate wireless sensor tracking and healthcare monitoring, particularly for vulnerable populations like the elderly in age care. Even remote learning and sports analytics can benefit from AI-powered mobile sensors. Finally, advanced mobile sensing integrated with AR and VR promises to revolutionize user experiences in both industrial and consumer settings.

This Special Issue seeks groundbreaking research that addresses the critical challenges at the forefront of smart mobile sensing powered by AI and machine learning (AI/ML). We invite submissions exploring innovative applications and use cases with the potential to significantly transform our daily lives.

The key topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • AI-enabled smart mobile sensing technology
  • Hardware, material, and signal processing of smart mobile sensing technology
  • Smart mobile sensing applications and use-cases
  • Machine learning, deep learning, and big data analytics
  • Privacy-preserving and security of smart mobile sensing

Most existing intelligent editing tools for music and video rely on the cross-modal matching technology of the affective consistency or the similarity of feature representations. However, these methods are not fully applicable to complex audiovisual matching scenarios, resulting in low matching accuracy and suboptimal audience perceptual effects due to ambiguous matching rules and associated factors. To address these limitations, this paper focuses on both the similarity and integration of affective distribution for the artistic audiovisual works of movie and television video and music. Based on the rich emotional perception elements, we propose a hybrid matching model based on feature canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and fine-grained affective similarity. The model refines KCCA fusion features by analyzing both matched and unmatched music–video pairs. Subsequently, the model employs XGBoost to predict relevance and to compute similarity by considering fine-grained affective semantic distance as well as affective factor distance. Ultimately, the matching prediction values are obtained through weight allocation. Experimental results on a self-built dataset demonstrate that the proposed affective matching model balances feature parameters and affective semantic cognitions, yielding relatively high prediction accuracy and better subjective experience of audiovisual association. This paper is crucial for exploring the affective association mechanisms of audiovisual objects from a sensory perspective and improving related intelligent tools, thereby offering a novel technical approach to retrieval and matching in music–video editing.

Traditional broadcasting methods often result in fatigue and decision-making errors when dealing with complex and diverse live content. Current research on intelligent broadcasting primarily relies on preset rules and model-based decisions, which have limited capabilities for understanding emotional dynamics. To address these issues, this study proposed and developed an emotion-driven intelligent broadcasting system, EmotionCast, to enhance the efficiency of camera switching during live broadcasts through decisions based on multimodal emotion recognition technology. Initially, the system employs sensing technologies to collect real-time video and audio data from multiple cameras, utilizing deep learning algorithms to analyze facial expressions and vocal tone cues for emotion detection. Subsequently, the visual, audio, and textual analyses were integrated to generate an emotional score for each camera. Finally, the score for each camera shot at the current time point was calculated by combining the current emotion score with the optimal scores from the preceding time window. This approach ensured optimal camera switching, thereby enabling swift responses to emotional changes. EmotionCast can be applied in various sensing environments such as sports events, concerts, and large-scale performances. The experimental results demonstrate that EmotionCast excels in switching accuracy, emotional resonance, and audience satisfaction, significantly enhancing emotional engagement compared to traditional broadcasting methods.
