Call for Papers Special Issue for Unmanned Systems Fuzzy Fused Hierarchical Deep Neural Network for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles 

Deep learning has recently attracted much attention due to its excellent performance in processing audio, image, and video data. However, few studies are devoted to the field of automatic modulation classification. It is one of the most well-known research topics in communication signal recognition and remains challenging for traditional methods due to complex disturbance from other sources and concepts of fuzzy learning into deep learning to overcome the shortcomings of fixed representation.

Fuzzy system is a hierarchical deep neural network that derives information from both fuzzy and neural representations. With an appropriate dynamic motion planning algorithm, UAVs would be able to maneuver in any unknown environment towards a target in real time. The fuzzy inference system takes information in real time about obstacles and target location and outputs a change in heading angle and speed. Based on the above observation we proposed a special issue in Unmanned Systems. 

Potential topics included (but not limited to) in this special issue are as follows: 

o Fuzzy logic for analysis, design and implementation of an autopilot for unmanned aircraft

 o Fuzzy controller for small size unmanned aerial vehicles

 o Fuzzy logic control for attitude estimation of UAVs 

o Vision Based Fuzzy Control Approaches for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles 

o Artificial intelligence and data mining based strategies from UAVs 

o Fuzzy based deep convolutional neural networks for vehicle detection from high-resolution aerial images

 o Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for unmanned air vehicles o Fuzzy logic for stabilization system of UAVs 

o Wireless vision-based fuzzy controllers for moving object tracking

 Deadline for Submission: December 30, 2021 

Publication of the special issue: October 1, 2022
