Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Face recognition has become one of the most active research areas in computer vision, driven by rapid advancements in deep learning, edge computing, and multimodal data fusion. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and novel developments that push the boundaries of face recognition technology in terms of accuracy, robustness, privacy, and real-world applicability. We invite high-quality contributions addressing theoretical foundations, algorithmic innovations, and emerging applications across diverse domains such as security, biometrics, healthcare, human–computer interaction, and smart environments.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Deep learning architectures and transformer-based models for face recognition;
- Lightweight and efficient face recognition for embedded and edge devices;
- Three-dimensional face modelling, reconstruction, and recognition under unconstrained conditions;
- Adversarial robustness, fairness, and privacy-preserving methods;
- Multimodal and cross-domain face recognition (e.g., thermal, sketch, or audio-assisted);
- Face recognition in video, low-light, and occluded scenarios;
- Ethical, legal, and societal implications of face recognition technologies.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to share innovative ideas and foster collaborations that advance the next generation of face 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. Electronics 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.
