Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Introduction: Deep learning is fast emerging as the state-of-the-art approach in many problems in image analysis and computer vision across several scientific domains in the life sciences, including biomedical image analysis and computer vision in agriculture. This Special Issue is focused on solving computer vision problems in bio-systems (e.g., digital phenotyping, agricultural yield estimation, disease detection, and wildlife monitoring) by using convolutional neural networks for object detection. As the field of deep learning is driven by data, the use of these techniques requires area-specific insights. We invite high-quality, previously unpublished contributions on any topics related to the use of deep learning object detection in the aforementioned areas, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Novel algorithms and convolutional neural network architectures;
- Innovative use cases in the life sciences;
- Sensor fusion and multimodality image analysis;
- Datasets, including synthetic datasets and transfer learning.

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.
