Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the ever-evolving and dynamic field of information applications, this Special Issue dedicated to computer and multimedia technology holds a pivotal position. This Special Issue zeroes in on the intricate intersection of computer science and multimedia technology, aiming to comprehensively explore how cutting-edge algorithms, high-performance computing capabilities, and innovative multimedia techniques act as the driving forces behind the development of information applications.
In the realm of multimedia content analysis, artificial intelligence-based image recognition has become a powerful tool. By leveraging deep learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), computers can accurately identify and classify various objects within multimedia images. For example, in large-scale media libraries, this technology enables automated image tagging and categorization, significantly improving the efficiency of content management and retrieval. This not only saves vast amounts of human labor but also allows for more accurate and rapid access to desired information.
Real-time video processing is another key area of focus. With the exponential growth of video-based content on the internet, from streaming services to video conferencing platforms, enhancing the user experience during information dissemination has become paramount. Advanced video processing techniques, including video compression, noise reduction, and real-time object tracking, are being actively explored. For instance, during live-streamed events, real-time video processing can adjust the video quality according to the user's network conditions, ensuring a smooth and high-definition viewing experience. This not only enriches the user's interaction with information but also broadens the scope of information dissemination.
The development of immersive multimedia interfaces represents a revolutionary step towards better information interactions. Technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are being integrated into information applications. In educational settings, VR-based learning platforms can create immersive virtual environments, allowing students to explore historical events, scientific phenomena, or complex engineering structures in a more intuitive and engaging way. In the field of marketing, AR-enabled product visualizations enable customers to virtually experience products before making a purchase decision. These immersive interfaces break the traditional boundaries of the presentation of information, making information more accessible and engaging.
Through a series of in-depth research articles and real-world case studies, this Special Issue will provide novel insights into improving the efficiency, accuracy, and user-friendliness of information applications. By promoting the integration and innovation of computer and multimedia technology, it will contribute to the continuous evolution of the information technology landscape, opening up new possibilities for the future development of information-related industries.

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. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
