Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue features articles related to Sustainable Industry with particular reference to the development of advanced systems based on 2D and 3D Artificial Vision for industrial and textile control. In the manufacturing sector, and even more in the textile industry, inspection of products is a crucial task to improve the quality and to reduce the cost. Human-based inspection is inefficient due to high labour intensity and it often leads to unreliable and unrepeatable results.
Artificial Vision (AV) proved to be effective in overcoming human-based inspection by both using 2D Machine Vision and by developing 3D-based acquisition. Using such systems, it is possible to provide defect detection, classification, measurements and quali-quantitative certification of inspected products quality. This is even more true in recent years where we have witnessed an increasing development of 2D and 3D acquisition methods that can impair the quality of inspection.
In this context, the present Special Issue aims to promote papers related to Artificial Vision findings and applications in all industrial fields, with a particular focus on the textile industry. Contributed papers can vary from basic science to practical methods and from new developments to future perspectives. Hybrid techniques that combine the integration of AV with Artificial Intelligence are encouraged.
In the Special Issue, we want to address, in particular, but not exclusively, recent advances in the following topics:
- 2D Machine Vision (using industrial cameras, line scan scameras, optical fibers, spectrophotometers, etc.);
- 3D Machine Vision (using 3D scanners, RGB-D devices, etc.);
- Artificial Intelligence-based methods for the detection, classification and characterization of industrial products;
- Methods and systems for the real-time detection of defects;
- Colorimetry and spectrophotometry;
- Image-processing based algorithms;
- Performance critera for the assessment of the reliability of AV systems;
- New architectures for 2D and 3D AV;
- Human–machine interaction for quality control;
- Big data and data analytics for textile and industrial defects classification;
- Machine integration of inspection systems;
- New hardware for machine vision;
- Robotics for product inspection.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
