Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision

The integration of artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies has become a topic of increasing interest for both researchers and developers from academic fields and industries worldwide. It is foreseeable that artificial intelligence will be the main approach of the next generation of computer vision research. The explosive number of artificial intelligence algorithms and increasing computational power of computers has significantly extended the number of potential applications for computer vision. It has also brought new challenges to the vision community.

This is the third special issue on artificial intelligence and computer vision: the previous special issues on the same topic were published in February 2017 and July 2018. We expect to have more special issues on these topics in future as the area is open to new developments with many innovative and highly productive research.

Authors are invited to submit outstanding and original unpublished research manuscripts focused on the latest findings in artificial intelligence and computer vision. The topics of interest are strictly limited to:

• Theoretical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence
• 3D Scene Reconstruction
• RGB-D Vision
• Pattern Recognition and Machine Vision
• Computational Imaging
• Object Tracking
• Deep Learning for Computer Vision
• Deep Learning for Mobile Computing
• Multimedia Big Data Analysis
• Big Data Analysis for Robotic Vision
• Big Data Analysis for Medical Imaging
• Computer Vision for Ocean Observing
• User Experience for Big Multimedia Systems
• Artificial Intelligence Hardware Design
• Smart Vision-based Robotic Manipulation
