Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Symmetry focuses on the exploration of symmetry and asymmetry in image processing and computer vision, aiming to advance the understanding of these fundamental principles and their applications in modern visual technologies. Symmetry and asymmetry play crucial roles in a wide range of computer vision tasks, including object recognition, image segmentation, feature extraction, and 3D reconstruction. By investigating the impact of symmetry and asymmetry on algorithm design and performance, contributors can offer insights into how these principles can be harnessed to enhance image quality, improve computational efficiency, and achieve robust results in complex visual environments.
We invite contributions that delve into the theoretical and practical aspects of symmetry and asymmetry in image processing and computer vision, as well as innovative methods for leveraging these principles. Topics may include, but are not limited to, symmetry-based feature extraction, deep learning architectures, asymmetry handling in face and object recognition, applications of symmetry and asymmetry in medical imaging, and challenges in processing asymmetric or imperfectly symmetric data.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a collaborative platform for researchers, developers, and industry professionals, fostering the exchange of new ideas, techniques, and best practices. We hope to create a comprehensive resource that demonstrates the versatility of symmetry and asymmetry in solving critical challenges in image processing and computer vision, ultimately advancing the field and inspiring future developments.

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.
