Digital Image Processing and Sensing Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to new technologies, digital images and videos form part of our daily routine, allowing for the easy capture and diffusion of visual information. Digital image processing (DIP) encompasses a broad spectrum of applications, especially manipulations of digital images in the context of computer-aided automation. The boundary between DIP and computer vision (CV) is vague and may thus encompass, in addition to core processing tasks, areas such as image understanding, feature extraction, detection, pattern recognition, object detection, and so on. Moreover, multimedia (image, video, audio, text, 3D, etc.) security, in the form of copyrighting, watermarking, and image encryption, is an important aspect of modern communication. Today, digital image/video processing quintessentially contributes to almost every field, ranging from medicine, astronomy, microscopy, and defense to biology, industry, robotics, security, remote sensing, and so on. This Special Issue aims to collect papers on state-of-the-art DIP and CV, with topics of interest including (but are not limited to) the following:

• Image acquisition;
• Image analysis;
• Digital image forensics;
• Multimedia Security (image and video);
• Digital image watermarking;
• Machine learning in DIP;
• Image-based data hiding;
• Image filtering;
• Feature extraction;
• Edge detection;
• Corner extraction;
• Keypoint detection;
• Feature descriptor;
• Image segmentation;
• image compression;
• Pattern recognition.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
