Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The visual system of the brain is a complex and efficient image processing system, acting as an important resource for computer vision theory and technological innovation. Brain-inspired and brain-imitating models represent important breakthroughs for theoretical innovation and technological revolution in the context of the new generation of artificial intelligence. From the perspective of computational simulation, such technology helps in clarifying or predicting some of the information processing mechanisms of the brain’s visual system; on the other hand, it also provides a series of new general-purpose computing models and common key technologies for many engineering applications centered on intelligent environment perception. This proposed Biologically Inspired Vision and Image Processing (BIVIP) Special Issue welcomes original, unpublished contributions from authors in this field. Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Models for neurons of various visual levels;
- Neural coding and decoding of visual information;
- Neural networks for local visual circuits;
- Visual mechanism-inspired deep neural networks;
- Visual models for image processing;
- Visual mechanism-inspired models for computer vision applications;
- Hardware implementations of visual models;
- Artificial vision-related software and hardware;
- Visual models for temporal information processing;
- Receptive field-based models;
- Biologically inspired novel spiking neural networks and optimization methods;
- Visual dynamic information processing technology based on event camera.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
