Recent Advances in Metaverse and Computer Vision

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to the recent advances in the metaverse and computer vision. The metaverse is a highly scalable and immutable network of interconnected virtual worlds centered on real-time interactions where individuals can work, socialize, transact, play, and even create. It completely immerses the user in a virtual environment through virtualization and advanced technologies (augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), etc.). Computer vision plays an important role in creating the illusion of virtual worlds in the metaverse universe. This Special Issue aims to present original, unpublished, and breakthrough research in the metaverse and computer vision focusing on new algorithms and mechanisms, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). We aim to bring leading scientists and researchers together and create an interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of computational theories, methodologies, and techniques.

Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Artificial intelligence;
• Machine learning and deep learning;
• Audio/video systems and signal processing;
• Advanced computing and data sciences;
• Object detection and recognition systems;
• Image processing;
• Explainable artificial intelligent (XAI);
• Virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and cinematic reality;
• Embedded systems and transfer learning;
• Image and vision computing;
• Pattern recognition;
• Recommendation systems;
• Advanced technologies and applications;
• Image/video-based object detection using deep learning;
• Sensor fusion for object detection using deep learning;
• Online learning for object detection;
• Semi-supervised learning for object detection;
• Deep-learning-based object detection for real-world applications;
• New database for object detection;
• Survey for the metaverse and computer vision.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics 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.
