Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging paradigm where remote sensors can be interconnected by means of Internet technologies. Among the plethora of sensors that are widely used today, cameras and video recorders are of particular interest for the large variety of applications and services that they can enable. This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of high quality research articles that address broad challenges on both theoretical and application aspects in image acquisition, storage, transmission, compression and processing in the IoT field. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Characterization and modeling of IoT vision sensors, including smart devices (smartphones)
  • Integration of vision machines and other sensors (GPS, accelerometers, gyro, etc.)
  • Image compression and/or transmission in IoT scenarios
  • Vision and image applications in Smart cities: traffic control, parking, security, streets (illumination, cleaning)
  • Intelligent things on connected vehicles, driving assistance
  • Image-based surveillance, privacy, identification, biometrics, security, monitoring
  • Environmental monitoring and assessment: wildlife, pollution, rescue
  • IoT imaging applications in healthcare, home automation and assisted living
  • Entertainment (3D animation, gaming, augmented reality)
  • Industrial applications: quality, security, training

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. Journal of Imaging is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The Internet of Things includes all the technologies allowing the connection of everyday objects to the Internet, in order to gather measurements of physical quantities and interact with the surrounding environments through telecommunication devices with embedded sensing and actuating units. The measurements carried out with different LEDs demonstrate the possibility of using these devices both as transmitters and as optical sensors, in addition to their ability to discriminate incident wavelengths, thus making them bi-directional transceivers for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, particularly suitable in the context of Visible Light Communication (VLC). In particular, a methodological tool is provided for selecting the LED sensor for VLC applications. Full article
