Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Object detection has been a research hotspot in computer vision for a long time. Nowadays, it is gaining increasing popularity from the research community and industry with the rapid development and deployment of enabling technologies, such as deep neural networks (DNNs) and high-resolution vision sensors. The past few years have witnessed tremendous successful applications of DNNs and their performance. However, mainstream DNNs tend to become more complex in computation, deeper in network structures, and larger in size in the training datasets. This has created a barrier to employing both data and computationally intensive DNNs on resource-limited vision sensors for applications such as object detection, especially in a timely manner.
This Special Issue looks at object detection from another angle, aiming to solicit state-of-the-art research efforts and works that can be employed to enable object detection in a more lightweight way, considering the resource constraints of vision sensors. The Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the topics below:
- Computation-efficient lightweight DNNs;
- Object detection in data streams;
- One-shot object detection;
- Object detection on the move;
- Edge computing in support of object detection on sensors;
- Neural network compression techniques;
- Federated learning for object detection;
- Bio-inspired sensing technologies;
- Real-time object detection techniques;
- New object representation techniques;
- Swarm learning for object detection in a collective manner;
- High-performance sensing systems.

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.
