Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Encompassing approximately three-quarters of the Earth's surface, the ocean plays a crucial role as a source of sustenance, medicine, and commerce. Advancements in ocean observation technologies are transitioning from traditional single-node, static, and short-term modalities to multiple nodes, dynamic, and long-term modalities, aiming to enhance the density of both temporal and spatial samplings.

This issue examines the phenomenon of detecting objects in underwater settings. The most crucial technology for autonomous underwater operations is intelligent computer vision. In underwater environments, it is essential to perform weak illumination and low-quality image enhancement as a preprocessing step for underwater vision. Following image processing, one can suggest employing deep learning-based methods for underwater detection and classification. We invite papers concerning topics including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Underwater visual images detection and classification;
  • Underwater object classification and detection;
  • Deep learning approach;
  • Underwater fish species tracking;
  • Diffusion networks;
  • Fish species detection.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
