Mobile Camera-Based Image and Video Processing

Dear Colleagues,

Today, mobile devices such as smartphones have become very popular for acquiring objects due to their availability and simple use. They allow us to easily capture several image samples or a video of an object in photo or video mode. However, mobile camera-captured images and videos represent a particular challenge for the analysis, recognition and understanding of their content, as they may contain several degradations such as lightning variations, shadows, geometric distortions, blur, noise and low resolution. Another challenge is the processing of these contents on the mobile device, as the methods have to account for the computational resources, to avoid draining the battery. The versatility of mobile devices enables new applications in various domains such as augmented reality, mobile document scanning and integrity checks, user authentication and presentation attack detection, automated photo enhancement, 3D acquisition, etc.

We request contributions taking an academic or industrial perspective in the field of mobile camera-based image and video processing. We hope that the submitted articles will raise and respond to new issues of mobile camera-based processing and its applications, or represent ongoing research to improve image and video analysis, recognition and understanding methods. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the keywords below.

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. Journal of Imaging 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.
