Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Deep learning is very effective in signal sensing, computer vision, and object recognition, and it has been used in many advanced image and signal sensing and processing algorithms proposed in recent years. Deep learning is a critical technique in image and signal sensing. In image processing, deep learning techniques have been widely applied in object detection, object recognition, object tracking, image denoising, image quality improvement, and medical image analysis. In signal processing, deep learning techniques can be applied to speech recognition, musical signal recognition, source separation, signal quality improvement, ECG and EEG signal analysis, and medical signal processing. Therefore, deep learning techniques are important for both academic research and product design. In this Special Issue, we encourage authors to submit manuscripts related to the algorithms, architectures, solutions, and applications of deep learning techniques. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Face detection and recognition;
  • Learning-based object detection;
  • Learning-based object tracing and ReID;
  • Hand gesture recognition;
  • Human motion recognition;
  • Semantic, instance, and panoptic segmentation;
  • Image denoising and quality enhancement;
  • Medical image processing;
  • Learning-based speech recognition;
  • Music signal recognition;
  • Source separation and echo removal for vocal signals;
  • Signal denoising and quality improvement;
  • Medical signal analysis.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.

In this paper, we propose a Local Global Union Network (LGUN), which effectively combines the strengths of Transformers and Convolutional Networks to develop a lightweight and high-performance network suitable for Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR). Specifically, we make use of the advantages of Transformers to provide input-adaptation weighting and global context interaction. We also make use of the advantages of Convolutional Networks to include spatial inductive biases and local connectivity. In the shallow layer, the local spatial information is encoded by Multi-order Local Hierarchical Attention (MLHA). In the deeper layer, we utilize Dynamic Global Sparse Attention (DGSA), which is based on the Multi-stage Token Selection (MTS) strategy to model global context dependencies. Moreover, we also conduct extensive experiments on both natural and satellite datasets, acquired through optical and satellite sensors, respectively, demonstrating that LGUN outperforms existing methods.
