Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the fields of image classification and pattern recognition have witnessed rapid advancements driven by emerging technologies such as deep learning, edge computing and explainable artificial intelligence. The latest advancements in image classification and pattern recognition highlight emerging trends and innovations in these fields, which are crucial for various applications, including computer vision, artificial intelligence and data analysis. As traditional techniques evolve, new neural network architectures, such as deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs), are significantly improving the performance and efficiency of classification systems. The issue also examines the impact of integrating deep-learning and machine-learning methods with multi-channel image processing, big data analysis and practical applications in fields such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, security and facial recognition. The goal is to showcase research that propose novel methodologies, innovative algorithms and cutting-edge applications, as well as studies that highlight the implications of these technologies in enhancing the accuracy and scalability of classification and pattern recognition systems.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
