Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Object detection refers to the identification and tracking of important targets using several types of data and electromagnetic signals, such as visible and infrared spectra; radar, sonar, and synthetic aperture radar signals; acoustic and magnetic signals; and optical, spectral, and medical information.
Today, it is a crucial basic technology and has many applications in industry and daily life. Within the past two decades—particularly since 2012, driven by the remarkable progress in sensor development and computer techniques such as deep learning—object detection has entered a rapid development period, with significant theoretical achievements and practical applications.
While working on modern object detection techniques, researchers are faced with various types of sensors, data, requirements and applications. This Special Issue is considered a forum with which to present the progress and state of the art of target detection technologies and their applications. Thus, we welcome research on new algorithms for object and target detection and tracking in different types of signals and data.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
