Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Visual search is the capability of a system to detect a particular object (or feature), called 'target', among other objects (or features), called 'distractors'.
In the past years several works have been published on this topic. Besides classic approaches that tried to model the target and the differences from the distractors, in recent years, neural networks approaches have also begun to be investigated. One of the most interesting properties of neural networks, in fact, is that they are able to learn differentiating characteristics in an automatic way and try to generalize a problem. This allows them to handle unseen data. Moreover, neural networks approaches also allowed an ever increasing number of different targets.
The goal of this Special Issue is to present recent advance in these areas, as well as recent developments related to theory and topologies.

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. Algorithms 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 1600 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.
