Vision Sensors for Object Detection and Recognition

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to the development of deep learning and AI, there have been rapid and successful applications of object detection and recognition. These results lay a strong foundation for advanced applications, such as computer vision technology, object tracking, video understanding, and so on. In addition, the metaverse also brings a new trend for object detection and recognition. The environments of VR, AR, and MR will be more and more popular in the future, and new vision technology is the key to its success. This Special Issue of Sensors aims to bring together leading academic research results on advanced object detection and recognition methods. It also provides a platform to discuss insightful concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in this Special Issue.

The topics of interest for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Object detection and recognition in virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality;
• New deep-learning neural networks for object detection and recognition;
• New practical applications for object detection and recognition;
• Sensor and sensing technologies for object detection and recognition;
• Fusion of multiple vision sensors for object detection and recognition;
• Challenges and solutions of object detection and recognition;
• 3D object detection and recognition;
• Novel ideas and frameworks for developing object detection and recognition 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 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.
