Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 6th International Conference on Recent Trends in Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (RTIP2R) aims to attract current and/or advanced research on image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision, and machine learning. The RTIP2R will take place at the University of Derby, United Kingdom on December 07–08, 2023 in collaboration with the 2AI Research Lab—Computer Science, University of South Dakota (USA).

Authors of selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit extended versions of their original papers and contributions under the conference topics (new papers that are closely related to the conference themes are also welcome).

We, however, are not limited to RIP2R 2023 to increase the number of submissions.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Signal and image processing.
  • Computer vision and pattern recognition: object detection and/or recognition (shape, color, and texture analysis) as well as pattern recognition (statistical, structural, and syntactic methods).
  • Machine learning: algorithms, clustering and classification, model selection (machine learning), feature engineering, and deep learning.
  • Data analytics: data mining tools and high-performance computing in big data.
  • Federated learning: applications and challenges.
  • Pattern recognition and machine learning for the Internet of things (IoT).
  • Information retrieval: content-based image retrieval and indexing, as well as text analytics.
  • Applications (not limited to):
    • Document image analysis and understanding.
    • Forensics.
    • Biometrics: face matching, iris recognition/verification, footprint verification, and audio/speech analysis, as well as understanding.
    • Healthcare informatics and (bio)medical imaging, as well as engineering.
    • Big data (from document understanding and healthcare to risk management).
    • Cryptanalysis (cryptology and cryptography).

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.

Conventional facemask detection algorithms face challenges of insufficient accuracy, large model size, and slow computation speed, limiting their deployment in real-world scenarios, especially on edge devices. Aiming at addressing these issues, we proposed a DB-YOLO facemask intelligent detection algorithm, which is a lightweight solution that leverages bidirectional weighted feature fusion. Our method is built on the YOLOv5 algorithm model, replacing the original YOLOv5 backbone network with the lightweight ShuffleNetv2 to reduce parameters and computational requirements. Additionally, we integrated BiFPN as the feature fusion layer, enhancing the model’s detection capability for objects of various scales. Furthermore, we employed a CARAFE lightweight upsampling factor to improve the model’s perception of details and small-sized objects and the EIOU loss function to expedite model convergence. We validated the effectiveness of our proposed method through experiments conducted on the Pascal VOC2007+2012 and Face_Mask datasets. Our experimental results demonstrate that the DB-YOLO model boasts a compact size of approximately 1.92 M. It achieves average precision values of 70.1% and 93.5% on the Pascal VOC2007+2012 and Face_Mask datasets, respectively, showcasing a 2.3% improvement in average precision compared to the original YOLOv5s. Furthermore, the model’s size is reduced by 85.8%. We also successfully deployed the model on Android devices using the NCNN framework, achieving a detection speed of up to 33 frames per second. Compared to lightweight algorithm models like YOLOv5n, YOLOv4-Tiny, and YOLOv3-Tiny, DB-YOLO not only reduces the model’s size but also effectively improves detection accuracy, exhibiting excellent practicality and promotional value on edge devices.
