Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the previous Special Issue “Visual Sensor Networks for Object Detection and Tracking” (https://0-www-mdpi-com.brum.beds.ac.uk/journal/sensors/special_issues/VSN_ODT), we are pleased to announce the next in the series, entitled “Advanced Visual Sensor Networks for Object Detection and Tracking”.

Information obtained through the human eye is more diverse and efficient for object recognition/tracking than information obtained through any other sensory organ. Recently, these kinds of tasks for visual object detection, recognition, and tracking have beeen enabled by more flexible vision sensors and network schemes such as the 5G standard. In addition, visual intelligence technology and inference systems based on deep/reinforcement learning are currently being actively researched to make vision systems more accurate. This Issue will publish original technical papers and review papers on these recent technologies with a focus on visual recognition, real-time visual object tracking, knowledge extraction, distributed visual sensor networks, and applications.

You are welcome to submit an unpublished original research work related to the theme of “Advanced Visual Sensor Networks for Object Detection and Tracking.”

Prof. Dr. Byung-Gyu Kim
Guest Editor

Abstract

The increase in security threats and a huge demand for smart transportation applications for vehicle identification and tracking with multiple non-overlapping cameras have gained a lot of attention. Moreover, extracting meaningful and semantic vehicle information has become an adventurous task, with frameworks deployed on different domains to scan features independently. Furthermore, approach identification and tracking processes have largely relied on one or two vehicle characteristics. They have managed to achieve a high detection quality rate and accuracy using Inception ResNet and pre-trained models but have had limitations on handling moving vehicle classes and were not suitable for real-time tracking. Additionally, the complexity and diverse characteristics of vehicles made the algorithms impossible to efficiently distinguish and match vehicle tracklets across non-overlapping cameras. Therefore, to disambiguate these features, we propose to implement a Ternion stream deep convolutional neural network (TSDCNN) over non-overlapping cameras and combine all key vehicle features such as shape, license plate number, and optical character recognition (OCR). Then jointly investigate the strategic analysis of visual vehicle information to find and identify vehicles in multiple non-overlapping views of algorithms. As a result, the proposed algorithm improved the recognition quality rate and recorded a remarkable overall performance, outperforming the current online state-of-the-art paradigm by 0.28% and 1.70%, respectively, on vehicle rear view (VRV) and Veri776 datasets.
