Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Image processing has witnessed great development in the past few years. The progress of image formation and the advancement of mobile intelligence devices have led to the wide application of research findings in computer vision to industrial production and daily life, simultaneously promoting breakthrough in symmetry image processing techniques. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as deep symmetric neural networks endow learnable strength to the symmetry image processing field. With the great power of learning ability of neural networks, many computer vision applications can be more focused and achieve higher accuracy by processing information from a huge flow of data. However, the training process and usage of symmetric deep neural networks require enormous computation resources, restricting its speed performance and its application on clients. Lightweight networks, which mainly focus on controlling the scale of the network and on speeding up network processing, are therefore proposed and have seen fast growth in recent years. This Special Issue introduces research on symmetric and lightweight neural networks for fast image processing. Some of these topics are the following:
- Symmetric and lightweight deep neural networks for image processing;
- Fast image denoising, super resolution, deblurring, etc.;
- Fast image object detection/segmentation;
- Fast and symmetric image style transfer.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
