Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital image processing is a multidisciplinary field rooted in computer science, mathematics, and engineering. It involves the analysis, enhancement, and interpretation of visual data through algorithms and computational techniques. Emerging from foundational work in signal processing and Fourier analysis in the mid-20th century, the field gained momentum with advances in computing power and the development of key theories like wavelet transforms and machine learning. This discipline is critically important across industries. In medicine, it enables early disease detection through MRI and CT scan analysis. Satellite imaging relies on it for environmental monitoring and urban planning, while autonomous vehicles use real-time image processing for navigation. The rise of deep learning has further expanded its applications, making it indispensable for facial recognition, industrial quality control, and even artistic creation. As visual data dominates the digital age, research in this domain directly drives technological innovation and societal progress.
Digital image processing also involves both symmetric and asymmetric phenomena that influence algorithm design and outcomes. The interplay between symmetry and asymmetry drives advancements in convolutional neural networks, medical imaging diagnostics, etc. We are pleased to invite you to make contributions to the area of digital image processing. This Special Issue aims to introduce the development of digital image processing using the techniques of deep neural networks and artificial intelligence. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Digital image processing in medical diagnostics;
- Digital image processing in remote sensing;
- Target recognition and classification based on digital images;
- Computational digital image generation;
- Algorithms and computational techniques of digital image processing;
- Applications of digital image processing to other relevant areas, such as facial recognition, industrial quality control, and environmental detection.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
