Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern image processing is a process of transforming an image into digital form and using computing systems to process, manipulate, and/or enhance digital images through various algorithms. Image processing is also a requisite for many computer vision tasks as it helps to preprocess images and prepare data in a form suitable for various computer vision models. Computer vision generally refers to techniques and algorithms that enable computers/machines to understand and make sense of images. Computer vision enables machines to extract latent information from visual data and to mimic the human perception of sight with computational algorithms. Active research is ongoing in relation to developing novel image processing and computer vision algorithms including deep learning-based algorithms for enabling new and fascinating applications.

This Special Issue targets algorithms for image processing and computer vision, inviting original research articles and reviews that relate to computing, architecture, algorithms, security, and applications of image processing and computer vision. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Image interpretation;
  • Object detection and recognition;
  • Spatial artificial intelligence;
  • Event detection and activity recognition;
  • Image segmentation;
  • Video classification and analysis;
  • Face and gesture recognition;
  • Pose estimation;
  • Computational photography;
  • Image security;
  • Vision hardware and/or software architectures;
  • Image/vision acceleration techniques;
  • Monitoring and surveillance;
  • Situational awareness.

Recognizing hand actions and poses from first-person RGB videos is crucial for applications like human–computer interaction. However, the recognition accuracy is often affected by factors such as occlusion and blurring. In this study, we propose a unified framework for action recognition and hand pose estimation in first-person RGB videos. The framework consists of two main modules: the Hand Pose Estimation Module and the Action Recognition Module. In the Hand Pose Estimation Module, each video frame is fed into a multi-layer transformer encoder after passing through a feature extractor. The hand pose results and object categories for each frame are obtained through multi-layer perceptron prediction using a dual residual network structure. The above prediction results are concatenated with the feature information corresponding to each frame for subsequent action recognition tasks. In the Action Recognition Module, the feature vectors from each frame are aggregated by a multi-layer transformer encoder to capture the temporal information of the hand between video frames and obtain the motion trajectory. The final output is the category of hand movements in consecutive video frames. We conducted experiments on two publicly available datasets, FPHA and H2O, and the results show that our method achieves significant improvements on both datasets, with action recognition accuracies of 94.82% and 87.92%, respectively.
