Several Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) methods have been proposed to recognize and classify objects. Once an object is recognized, its key features can be extracted to analyze its condition and model its interaction with the environment. For example, in an application that monitors human expressions, the human face must first be localized in an image, and then shape alignment can be performed to recognize the facial expression based on the distance between shape landmarks. Similarly, in an application that monitors human pose, the body must first be localized, and then pose estimation is applied to classify the body position. Monitoring the tracking of objects (vehicles, humans, animals, etc.) in video frames is also important in various applications. Recognizing the direction or orientation of an object may also be necessary.
In this Special Issue, we are interested in modelling techniques for object tracking and morphological feature extraction. The effectiveness of these modelling approaches can be demonstrated with case studies from various domains such as traffic control, healthcare applications, etc.
This Special Issue of Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences provides a forum for presenting novel approaches for object tracking and feature extraction on images and video streams captured on land, in the air, and from underwater cameras, mobile devices, machine vision systems, and IoT sensors. Original research articles and review papers are both welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
· AI or ML Models for Object Detection
· AI or ML Models for Object Direction and Orientation Recognition
· AI or ML Models for Object Tracking
