Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, the diverse kinds of advanced deep learning techniques are developed depending on sensor configuration and goals of applications in robotics, autonomous driving, smart factoring, healthcare, and so on. Given that massive sensor data are collected and processed as learning data, deep learning models become more complicated and are integrated. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to implement advanced models and frameworks of deep learning for intelligent sensor systems.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Deep learning-based sensor simulation;
  • Deep learning-driven control loops with sensor feedback;
  • Natural language interface for sensor querying; 
  • Sensor data fusion with large multimodal models;
  • Human–AI interaction (HAI);
  • Human–Agent collaboration for sensor monitoring and data analysis;
  • Multi-agent system for sensor monitoring and data analysis;
  • Potential biases of agentic AI in decision making with sensors;
  • Anomaly detection in sensor setworks Using LLMs;
  • Sensor simulation with deep learning or generative LLMs;
  • Potential hallucination of LLM/LLM-based sensor analysis;
  • Instruction tuning methods/datasets for constructing large sensor-language models;
  • Reasoning models for sensor data analysis/querying;
  • Application of large sensor-language models.

Bounding box regression (BBR) loss plays a critical role in object detection within computer vision. Existing BBR loss functions are typically based on the Intersection over Union (IoU) between predicted and ground truth boxes. However, these methods neither account for the effect of predicted box scale on regression nor effectively address the drift problem inherent in BBR. To overcome these limitations, this paper introduces a novel BBR loss function, termed Gaussian Adaptive Ochiai BBR loss (GAOC), which combines the Ochiai Coefficient (OC) with a Gaussian Adaptive (GA) distribution. The OC component normalizes by the square root of the product of bounding box dimensions, ensuring scale invariance. Meanwhile, the GA distribution models the distance between the top-left and bottom-right corners (TL/BR) coordinates of predicted and ground truth boxes, enabling a similarity measure that reduces sensitivity to positional deviations. This design enhances detection robustness and accuracy. GAOC was integrated into YOLOv5 and RT-DETR and evaluated on the PASCAL VOC and MS COCO 2017 benchmarks. Experimental results demonstrate that GAOC consistently outperforms existing BBR loss functions, offering a more effective solution. Full article
