Summary

Living in the era of big data, we are witnessing of current dramatic growth of hybrid data which is a complex set of cross-media content, such as text, images, videos, audio, and time series sequential data.Recently, Deep Learning has shown immense success, leading to state-of-the-art results in various fields. The field of computer vision and image processing has seen advances continually thanks to innovation in deep learning. In the last decade, various deep learning algorithms have been introduced for unsupervised, supervised, and reinforcement learning algorithms and applications. Convolution Neural Networks (CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Generative Adversarial Network (GNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), etc., are a few deep learning algorithms that achieve significant success in computer vision and image processing. However, applying deep learning to solve problems will encounter some challenges. To improve the performance of Deep Learning methods, the scalability of deep learning method systems is necessary, thus there is a need to develop new parallel and distributed deep learning approaches that can help to speed up the training process and make deep learning models suitable for big data.

This special issue aims to bring together all the potential research scholars worldwide to contribute and submit their original research articles that include algorithms, architecture, and empirical results for computer vision and image recognition applications using deep learning and AI-related technologies. The special issue will cover the following topics but not restricted:
• Analysis of deep neural network for real-time imaging application
• Deep Learning-based feature extraction for computer vision and image processing
• State-of-the-art neural computing for smart living, agriculture, healthcare, transportation, underwater, education, and sport applications using computer vision and image processing
• Challenges and opportunities of neural computing-based image analysis for computer vision and image processing algorithm

    A Study on Improving the Accuracy of Semantic Segmentation for Autonomous Driving

    Bin Zhang, Zhancheng Xu
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.069979
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Deep Learning: Emerging Trends, Applications and Research Challenges for Image Recognition)
    Abstract This study aimed to enhance the performance of semantic segmentation for autonomous driving by improving the 2DPASS model. Two novel improvements were proposed and implemented in this paper: dynamically adjusting the loss function ratio and integrating an attention mechanism (CBAM). First, the loss function weights were adjusted dynamically. The grid search method is used for deciding the best ratio of 7:3. It gives greater emphasis to the cross-entropy loss, which resulted in better segmentation performance. Second, CBAM was applied at different layers of the 2D encoder. Heatmap analysis revealed that introducing it after the second… More >

    BAID: A Lightweight Super-Resolution Network with Binary Attention-Guided Frequency-Aware Information Distillation

    Jiajia Liu, Junyi Lin, Wenxiang Dong, Xuan Zhao, Jianhua Liu, Huiru Li
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.071397

    Abstract Single Image Super-Resolution (SISR) seeks to reconstruct high-resolution (HR) images from low-resolution (LR) inputs, thereby enhancing visual fidelity and the perception of fine details. While Transformer-based models—such as SwinIR, Restormer, and HAT—have recently achieved impressive results in super-resolution tasks by capturing global contextual information, these methods often suffer from substantial computational and memory overhead, which limits their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices. To address these challenges, we propose a novel lightweight super-resolution network, termed Binary Attention-Guided Information Distillation (BAID), which integrates frequency-aware modeling with a binary attention mechanism to significantly reduce computational complexity and parameter… More >

    BES-Net: A Complex Road Vehicle Detection Algorithm Based on Multi-Head Self-Attention Mechanism

    Heng Wang, Jian-Hua Qin
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.85, No.1, pp. 1037-1052, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.067650
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Deep Learning: Emerging Trends, Applications and Research Challenges for Image Recognition)
    Abstract Vehicle detection is a crucial aspect of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and autonomous driving technologies. The complexity and diversity of real-world road environments, coupled with traffic congestion, pose significant challenges to the accuracy and real-time performance of vehicle detection models. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a fast and accurate vehicle detection algorithm named BES-Net. Firstly, the BoTNet module is integrated into the backbone network to bolster the model’s long-distance dependency, address the complexities and diversity of road environments, and accelerate the detection speed of the BES-Net network. Secondly, to accommodate the varying sizes… More >
