Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Image Processing for the reconstruction of images is a highly promising area of research. The reconstruction of an image from the acquired data is an inverse problem which is often not possible solve directly. In this case, a direct algorithm has to approximate the solution, which might cause visible reconstruction artifacts in the image. Iterative algorithms approach the correct solution using multiple iteration steps, which allows to obtain a better reconstruction at the cost of a higher computation time. The convergence of AI in this field can overcome certain challenges and can also increase the accuracy of the algorithms. There are a large variety of algorithms, but each starts with an assumed image, computes projections from the image, compares the original projection data and updates the image based upon the difference between the calculated and the actual projections. Image reconstruction can be applied in many situations, including but not limited to, 3D shape reconstruction, texture analysis, medical imaging, and robotics. The emergence of robotics with vision has introduced new challenges and finds new applications in robot navigation.

There is a current need to design efficient algorithms, models and methodologies of AI to analyze the images generated from various applications, such as industry, healthcare, medical and the robot navigation.

The topics of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • X-ray CT image reconstruction
  • MRI image reconstruction
  • Medical diagnosis support systems
  • Texture Analysis
  • 3D Depth/Shape Recovery
  • Robot Navigation Systems
  • Autonomous Vehicle Navigation Systems
  • Biometric and Security systems

Semantic segmentation using machine learning and computer vision techniques is one of the most popular topics in autonomous driving-related research. With the revolution of deep learning, the need for more efficient and accurate segmentation systems has increased. This paper presents a detailed review of deep learning-based frameworks used for semantic segmentation of road scenes, highlighting their architectures and tasks. It also discusses well-known standard datasets that evaluate semantic segmentation systems in addition to new datasets in the field. To overcome a lack of enough data required for the training process, data augmentation techniques and their experimental results are reviewed. Moreover, domain adaptation methods that have been deployed to transfer knowledge between different domains in order to reduce the domain gap are presented. Finally, this paper provides quantitative analysis and performance evaluation and discusses the results of different frameworks on the reviewed datasets and highlights future research directions in the field of semantic segmentation using deep learning.
