Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection of machine learning and mathematical methods in computer vision, highlighting their vital role in enhancing the performance and reliability of visual data processing algorithms. Mathematical modeling provides a rigorous framework for addressing complex challenges in computer vision, enabling the development of robust and efficient algorithms that can analyze and interpret vast amounts of visual information. The synergy between machine learning techniques and mathematical principles not only fosters innovative approaches to existing problems but also encourages interdisciplinary collaborations, resulting in breakthroughs that can significantly advance the computer vision field.

We invite authors to contribute original research articles, reviews, and case studies that demonstrate novel applications of machine learning and mathematical methodologies in computer vision. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advanced mathematical techniques for image processing, model optimization, and novel machine learning architectures tailored for visual data analysis.

Should you have any questions or need an extension, please feel free to contact me directly. Your contributions will be invaluable in shaping the future of this dynamic and evolving field. Thank you for considering this opportunity, and we look forward to receiving your submissions.

Deep learning has significantly advanced image classification by leveraging hierarchical feature representations. A key factor in enhancing classification accuracy is feature concatenation, which integrates diverse feature sets to provide a richer representation of input data. However, this fusion strategy has inherent limitations, including increased computational complexity, susceptibility to redundant or irrelevant features, and challenges in optimally weighting different feature contributions. To address these challenges, this paper presents a pseudo-multiview learning method that dynamically combines different views at the evidence level using a belief-based model known as subjective logic. This approach adaptively assigns confidence levels to each view, ensuring more effective integration of complementary information while mitigating the impact of noisy or less relevant features. Experimental evaluations of datasets from various domains demonstrate that the proposed method enhances classification accuracy and robustness compared with conventional classification techniques.

To ensure the reliability and security of machine learning classification models when deployed in the open world, it is crucial that these models can detect out-of-distribution (OOD) data that exhibits semantic shifts from the in-distribution (ID) data used during training. This necessity has spurred extensive research on OOD detection. Previous methods required a large amount of finely labeled OOD data for model training, which is costly or performed poorly in open-world scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose a novel method named focus on important samples (FIS) in this paper. FIS leverages model-predicted OOD scores to identify and focus on important samples that are more beneficial for model training. By learning from these important samples, our method aims to achieve reliable OOD detection performance while reducing training costs and the risk of overfitting training data, thereby enabling the model to better distinguish between ID and OOD data. Extensive experiments across diverse OOD detection scenarios demonstrate that FIS achieves superior performance compared to existing approaches, highlighting its robust and efficient OOD detection performance in practical applications.
