Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability to detect, track, and locate objects in videos and to recognize events and actions performed by objects in dynamic and unconstrained environments is a fundamental challenge in computer vision. With the increasing availability of cameras and sensors, vision-based systems are being used in a wide range of applications, including surveillance, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and augmented reality. However, these applications often require real-time and robust object detection and tracking or recognition of actions and events in complex environments with various lighting conditions, occlusions, and dynamic backgrounds.
This Special Issue of the journal focuses on recent advances in vision-based object detection and tracking such as action and event recognition in dynamic and unconstrained environments. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present and discuss their latest research results, challenges, and future directions in this field.
We invite original research papers, reviews, and case studies that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Object detection in dynamic and unconstrained environments;
- Object tracking in complex scenes with occlusions and dynamic backgrounds;
- Object localization in videos;
- Recognition of actions and events in complex and unconstrained environments;
- Deep learning-based approaches for object detection tracking and action recognition;
- Multi-camera and sensor fusion for robust object tracking;
- Real-time and low-latency object detection and tracking;
- Large-scale datasets and benchmarks for object detection and tracking;
- Applications of vision-based object detection and tracking, such as surveillance, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and augmented reality.

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 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. 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.
