New Insights in 2D and 3D Object Detection and Semantic Segmentation

Dear Colleagues,

With the fast development of Industry 4.0, the detection and semantic segmentation of two-dimensional (2D) images and three-dimensional (3D) objects have been applied in numerous fields, such as medical imaging, remote sensing, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, urban studies, robotics, and virtual reality. This Special Issue focuses on advancing techniques and methodologies (such as AI) in the fields of image processing, 3D object detection and semantic segmentation. The collection underscores the interdisciplinary nature of research in several disciplines, highlighting how these innovations contribute to transformative applications across diverse fields. Each contribution represents a significant step forward in advancing technology, paving the way for new capabilities and applications in both academic research and industrial applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• AI and image segmentation;
• AI and 3D segmentation;
• Object detection;
• Semantic segmentation and scene understanding;
• Remote sensing, virtual reality, robotics, medical, biomedical 2D and 3D imaging;
• Lidar, depth cameras, and RGB-D sensors;
• Data processing for smart cities;
• AI methods applied in images: object detection, pose detection, object tracking, semantic segmentation;
• Deep learning approaches for 2D or 3D object detection and segmentation;
• Interactive and semi-supervised approaches;
• Domain adaptation and transfer learning.

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.
