Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biometric systems have seen rapid growth and technological advancements in recent years, largely driven by the progress being made in computer vision, machine learning, and image processing. Techniques such as deep learning, convolutional neural networks, and advanced image analysis methods are being leveraged to improve the accuracy, robustness, and scalability of biometric recognition systems. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research on how these interdisciplinary fields can be utilized to develop, enhance, and evaluate various biometric modalities, including face, iris, fingerprint, voice, and gait recognition.
Contributions are sought on all facets of the development of biometric systems, from novel algorithmic innovations and optimized model architectures to considerations needed for real-world deployment, such as their performance in challenging environments, security vulnerabilities, and ethical concerns. Submissions that explore multimodal fusion, domain adaptation for diverse user populations, and integration with edge or IoT devices are particularly welcome. We also encourage studies examining the broader ecosystem of biometric technologies, including privacy-preserving techniques and regulatory frameworks. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts, this Special Issue aims to advance the field of biometric systems and highlight the future directions in which computer vision, machine learning, and image processing can shape the next generation of reliable and secure authentication methods.

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. 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.
