Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm where remote sensors can be interconnected by means of Internet technologies. Among the plethora of sensors that are widely used today, cameras and video recorders are of particular interest for the large variety of applications and services that they can enable. This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of high quality research articles that address broad challenges on both theoretical and application aspects in image acquisition, storage, transmission, compression and processing in the IoT field. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Characterization and modeling of IoT vision sensors, including smart devices (smartphones)
• Integration of vision machines and other sensors (GPS, accelerometers, gyro, etc.)
• Image compression and/or transmission in IoT scenarios
• Vision and image applications in Smart cities: traffic control, parking, security, streets (illumination, cleaning)
• Intelligent things on connected vehicles, driving assistance
• Image-based surveillance, privacy, identification, biometrics, security, monitoring
• Environmental monitoring and assessment: wildlife, pollution, rescue
• IoT imaging applications in healthcare, home automation and assisted living
• Entertainment (3D animation, gaming, augmented reality)
• Industrial applications: quality, security, training

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. 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.
