Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Image processing plays a crucial role in various domains, including computer vision, information analysis, and multimedia applications. With the advent of deep learning and artificial intelligence techniques, there is a growing interest in developing intelligent image processing systems that can effectively analyze, enhance, and interpret images. However, challenges like, dataset limitations, interpretability and explainability, computational complexity, and many other issues still exit that need to be addressed in order to achieve further progress and widespread adoption. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to explore the advancements and applications of deep learning-based approaches in the field of image processing. Authors are encouraged to present novel deep learning-based methodologies, algorithms, and frameworks that contribute to the advancement of intelligent image processing. Submissions may include theoretical contributions, experimental evaluations, and practical applications. We welcome original research papers, survey articles, and systematic literature reviews that address the challenges and opportunities in the field of intelligent image processing using deep learning. Manuscripts should demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency, and applicability of the proposed methods. We invite original research articles, case studies, and reviews that address related topics, such as the following:

  1. Image inpainting and restoration using deep learning techniques.
  2. Advanced image analysis and understanding.
  3. Information processing and analysis in images.
  4. Computer vision algorithms and applications.
  5. Machine learning for image processing and analysis.
  6. Intelligent image processing system design and implementation.
  7. Multimodal target monitoring and tracking techniques.
  8. Multimodal image fusion and enhancement approaches.
  9. Application and case studies of deep learning in image processing.

Diffusion-based approaches have recently emerged as powerful alternatives to GAN-based virtual try-on methods, offering improved detail preservation and visual realism. Despite their advantages, the substantial number of parameters and intensive computational requirements pose significant barriers to deployment on low-resource platforms. To tackle these limitations, we propose a diffusion-based virtual try-on framework optimized through feature-level knowledge compression. Our method introduces MP-VTON, an enhanced inpainting pipeline based on Stable Diffusion, which incorporates improved Masking techniques and Pose-conditioned enhancement to alleviate garment boundary artifacts. To reduce model size while maintaining performance, we adopt an attention-guided distillation strategy that transfers semantic and structural knowledge from MP-VTON to a lightweight model, LiteMP-VTON. Experiments demonstrate that LiteMP-VTON achieves nearly a 3× reduction in parameter count and close to 2× speedup in inference, making it well suited for deployment in resource-limited environments without significantly compromising generation quality.
