Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in computer vision and its expanding role in solving real-world challenges. Inspired by interdisciplinary innovations in deep learning, autonomous systems and AI-driven edge devices, this issue bridges theoretical research with real-world implementation. For instance, visual SLAM systems have dramatically improved localization accuracy and autonomy for unmanned vehicles in GPS-denied environments. In industrial manufacturing lines, automated visual inspection can identify tiny surface flaws in products with superhuman accuracy and efficiency. By showcasing both theoretical breakthroughs and industry-driven case studies, this special issue welcomes contributions that demonstrate recent advances in computer vision and its applications. The call covers but not limits to a wide range of areas including visual perception and reconstruction, industrial visual inspection, vision-language models and applications, AI-driven edge computing, and innovative advances in the field.
