With the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, satellite remote sensing, intelligent sensors, computer vision, and unmanned systems, the ocean has become an increasingly important application domain for intelligent information technologies. In the face of complex and dynamic maritime environments, achieving more accurate, efficient, and intelligent maritime target detection, environmental perception, information processing, and autonomous decision-making has become a key research focus in marine science and intelligent information technology.
To promote academic exchange and technological innovation in the fields of intelligent maritime imaging, sensing, and information systems, the 1st International Conference on Intelligent Maritime Imaging, Sensing and Systems (iMISS 2027) warmly welcomes researchers, academics, and professionals from around the world to participate and share their latest research.
