This Topic aims to bridge cutting-edge research in visual computing with real-world applications, focusing on advancing the state-of-the-art in image/video-based object detection, tracking, and behavioral analysis, while integrating emerging techniques across related domains. We solicit contributions that explore novel algorithms, architectures, and systems for solving complex visual challenges in safety-critical, healthcare, and intelligent transportation scenarios. Areas to be covered in this Research Topic may include, but are not limited to:

Object Detection and Recognition in Dynamic Scenes;
• Advanced Video Tracking and Motion Analysis;
• Behavioral Analysis and Anomaly Detection;
• Image/Video Enhancement and Feature Extraction;
• Multimodal Data Fusion in Visual Intelligence;
• Deep Learning and Beyond for Visual Tasks
• Industrial and Healthcare Applications, etc.
