Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Image processing is a rapidly evolving technique applied in several research fields. The processing digital signals, a major objective in many scientific domains, can be achieved through image-processing approaches. This path includes the analysis, classification, and manipulation of signals using operations such as filtering, compression, feature extraction, enhancement, and spectral analysis. 

This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative ideas and algorithms for treating different types of discrete signals using image-processing algorithms.

We welcome original and novel contributions, including research papers and extensive reviews, addressing the impact and relevance of electronic signal processing using image-processing applications.

We welcome submissions detailing new theories and evolutionary methods for digital signal processing using image processing approaches. A non-exhaustive list of topics is as follows:

  • Digital signal processing using machine learning;
  • Deep learning for digital signal processing;
  • Image restoration and noise reduction;
  • Image classification, segmentation, and clustering;
  • Object detection and tracking;
  • Medical imaging for EEG/ECG signal processing;
  • Feature selection, extraction, and learning;
  • Digital signal detection and recognition using image processing techniques;
  • Motion analysis of digital signals.

In the development of digital twin (DT) workshops, constructing accurate DT models has become a key step toward enabling intelligent manufacturing. To address challenges such as incomplete data acquisition, noise sensitivity, and the heavy reliance on manual annotations in traditional modeling methods, this paper proposes a self-supervised deep learning approach for point cloud completion. The proposed model integrates self-supervised learning strategies for inferring missing regions, a Feature Pyramid Network (FPN), and cross-attention mechanisms to extract critical geometric and structural features from incomplete point clouds, thereby reducing dependence on labeled data and improving robustness to noise and incompleteness. Building on this foundation, a point cloud-based DT workshop modeling framework is introduced, incorporating transfer learning techniques to enable domain adaptation from synthetic to real-world industrial datasets, which significantly reduces the reliance on high-quality industrial point cloud data. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior completion and reconstruction performance on both public benchmarks and real-world workshop scenarios, achieving an average CD-2 score of 15.96 on the 3D-EPN dataset. Furthermore, the method produces high-fidelity models in practical applications, providing a solid foundation for the precise construction and deployment of virtual scenes in DT workshops.
