With the rapid progress of industrialisation and civilisation, intelligent systems are emerging as a concept in which every device, person, vehicle, building and street in an area can be used as a component to probe social intelligence for the purpose of serving people and their lives.

Computational imaging systems and multimedia systems aim to enhance both human lives and environments smartly through a recurrent process of sensing, mining, understanding and improving. They also aim to deeply understand the nature and science behind phenomena occurring in urban spaces, using a variety of heterogeneous data sources, such as traffic flows, human mobility, geographic data, environment protection, energy consumption, economics, etc. In all of the above, intelligent systems can give rise to a richer user experience with a wide variety of interactive devices, from recommenders to storytelling platforms.

This special issue's objective is to provide a platform for researchers to share their thoughts and findings in various issues in computational imaging and multimedia processing. Our goal is to compile the latest advancements addressing the topic of intelligent systems.
