Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of object detection has garnered significant attention because of its extensive range of practical uses. Over recent years, the advancement of deep neural networks has significantly enhanced the effectiveness of object detection systems, as noted in studies. Despite these detectors demonstrating outstanding performance on standardized datasets, real-world object detection has continued to confront formidable challenges stemming from factors such as diverse viewpoints, variations in object appearances, complex backgrounds, lighting conditions, image quality, and more.

This Special Issue therefore aims to compile original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of object detection.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Object detection in domain adaptation;
  • Objection detection in domain generalization;
  • Long-tailed object detection and tracking;
  • Weak-supervised object detection;
  • Few-shot object detection;
  • Object detection and tracking;
  • Object detection for sensing;
  • Object detection;
  • Detection sensors for presence and shape control purposes.

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.

Deep learning models have significantly improved object detection, which is essential for visual sensing. However, their increasing complexity results in higher latency and resource consumption, making real-time object detection challenging. In order to address the challenge, we propose a new lightweight filtering method called L-filter to predict empty video frames that include no object of interest (e.g., vehicles) with high accuracy via hybrid time series analysis. L-filter drops those frames deemed empty and conducts object detection for nonempty frames only, significantly enhancing the frame processing rate and scalability of real-time object detection. Our evaluation demonstrates that L-filter improves the frame processing rate by 31–47% for a single traffic video stream compared to three standalone state-of-the-art object detection models without L-filter. Additionally, L-filter significantly enhances scalability; it can process up to six concurrent video streams in one commodity GPU, supporting over 57 fps per stream, by working alongside the fastest object detection model among the three models.
