Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart cities have become a reality, as distributed sensing technologies are becoming affordable and flexible enough to allow different types of monitoring applications. Modern urban areas have to deal with critical problems, such as mobility, public security, energy efficiency, and emergence response, fostering the development of smart cities initiatives for more efficient resource management and quality life improvement.
The use of cameras in smart cities can provide multiperspective visual data of roads, streets, squares, buildings, and virtually any area of modern cities, allowing the retrieval and processing of images and videos that can enhance the way the cities' behavior is perceived. Nevertheless, there are still a lot of relevant challenges that have to be treated in order to better support the use of camera sensors in smart cities. In this Special Issue, innovative research papers addressing classical and new challenges of visual data monitoring in smart cities are specially welcome. Emerging applications for camera-based smart cities and Internet of Multimedia Things for urban scenarios are also relevant for this research area and papers covering these subjects should also be submitted.

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. Smart Cities is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
