Modern Algorithms for Image Processing and Computer Vision

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.

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. Algorithms 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.
