Symmetry Applied in Biometrics Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Advancements in sensor technology and computational power have created opportunites to build systems that mimic some human abilities. Biometric technology has immensely benefited from these developments. There have been several applications in areas, such as border control, banking, access control, etc., that use biometric modalities, such as the iris, face, fingerprint, palm print, ear, etc. The symmetrical nature of many biometric features has been exploited in some existing works to improve the accuracy of biometric systems. This gives research directions for using inner information of the ears  in recognition systems. This Special Issue focuses on the application of symmetry-based biometric solutions. It encourages researchers to submit state-of-the-art theoretical and/or application-based findings, with the use of symmetry to create new biometric-based systems. as well as  models or/and improve existing ones. You are welcome to submit original research or review articles.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
