Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites submissions that showcase innovative research on computer vision technologies that are transforming agricultural engineering. We seek contributions that address key challenges in smart agriculture, including automated crop and disease monitoring, yield estimation, robotics for harvesting and weeding, livestock behavior analysis, and quality assessment of produce. Submissions should emphasize practical applications of computer vision, image processing, and sensor fusion to enhance automation in agricultural systems. We welcome studies on robust computer vision algorithms for uncontrolled field environments, edge computing solutions, and scalable systems that bridge the gap between experimental validation and real-world implementation, driving forward the future of intelligent, sustainable agriculture.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Image-based phenotyping and stress detection;
- Computer vision for agricultural robotics and navigation;
- UAV and satellite imagery analysis;
- IoT and vision sensor networks for farm management;
- Vision-based crop quality inspection and sorting;
- Datasets and benchmarks for agricultural vision tasks.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. AgriEngineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
