Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pixel-wise image understanding is a critical area of research in computer vision that aims to analyze images at the pixel level to infer semantic information such as object boundaries, textures, and scene understanding. This area of research has a wide range of applications, such as robotics, autonomous driving, and multimedia. With the development of computer vision and machine learning, pixel-wise image understanding attracts a great deal of attention from researchers for typical tasks such as object detection, semantic segmentation and change detection, since it provides finer information than the traditional image-/object-level analysis. Moreover, there are many other high-level tasks to be explored further, e.g., dealing with occlusions, handling complex scenes, and developing efficient models for real-time tasks. We believe that pixel-wise imagery analysis can provide elaborate analysis results and facilitate other more high-level semantic understanding tasks.
This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality and original-contribution research papers, pixel-wise labeled datasets, as well as review articles addressing emerging trends in pixel-wise image understanding using computer vision and machine learning technologies.
For this Special Issue, we welcome contributions related to, but not limited to, the following:
- Semantic segmentation/instance segmentation;
- Image super-resolution;
- Crowd counting/object density estimation;
- Image generation/translation/synthesis;
- Depth/height estimation;
- Optical/traffic/crowd flow prediction;
- Road network detection;
- Change detection;
- Pixel-wise labeled dataset;
- Other tasks on pixel-wise classification or regression.

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. 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.
