Visual Sensor Networks for Object Detection and Tracking

This special issue belongs to the section “Sensor Networks“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Information obtained through the human eye is more efficient and diverse for object recognition/tracking than information obtained through any other sensory organ. Recently, these kinds of tasks for visual object detection, recognition, and tracking are being enabled by more flexible vision sensors and its network scheme, such as the 5G standard. In addition, visual intelligence technology and inference systems based on deep/reinforcement learning are currently actively being researched to make vision systems more accurate. This issue will publish original technical papers and review papers on these recent technologies which are focusing on visual recognition, real-time visual object tracking, knowledge extraction, distributed visual sensor networks, and applications.

You are welcome to submit an unpublished original research work related to the theme of “Visual Sensor Networks for Object Detection and Tracking.”

Prof. Dr. Byung-Gyu Kim
Guest Editor

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.
