Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of image processing and pattern recognition enables the extraction of meaningful information from visual data.

Image processing involves the manipulation and analysis of digital images using algorithms to enhance, restore, or extract features. It prepares raw image data for subsequent pattern recognition tasks by filtering noise, adjusting contrast, and segmenting images into meaningful regions.

Pattern recognition is the process of identifying and classifying patterns in data, often within the context of image processing. It relies on advanced algorithms that can discern and interpret structural regularities in visual data, such as faces, objects, or even abstract concepts like textures and shapes.

Sensing technologies in this domain harness various physical sensors (e.g., cameras, infrared detectors, and LiDAR) to capture images and other sensory information. These sensors, coupled with sophisticated software algorithms, enable the automatic detection, recognition, and analysis of patterns in real-world scenarios.

In summary, sensing technologies in image processing and pattern recognition represent a fusion of hardware and software innovations that enable the automated extraction and interpretation of meaningful information from visual data, with profound implications across industries from security and surveillance to healthcare and autonomous 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.
