Artificial Intelligence for Smart Image Perception, Recognition and Understanding
This special issue belongs to the section “Artificial Intelligence“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on smart, data-efficient, and trustworthy image understanding across tasks such as recognition, segmentation, VQA, captioning, generation, and cross-modal alignment. We welcome contributions spanning theoretical advances to practical systems, covering (but not limited to) deep architecture design, self-/un-/weak supervised training, vision–language models, generative–discriminative integration, 2D–3D geometric reasoning, efficiency strategies, robustness and uncertainty, and benchmarking and reproducibility. Application areas include media data processing, medical imaging, industrial inspection, autonomous driving, and remote sensing, among others. By emphasizing shared architectures, data-efficient training paradigms, and rigorous evaluation protocols, this Special Issue aims to transcend task-specific silos and accelerate the development of practical, reliable, and transparent image understanding technologies.

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.
