Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Face recognition is the most prominent biometric technique for identity authentication and is widely used in applications such as access control, time attendance, finance, law enforcement, public security, forensics, and human–computer interactions. It is a long-standing research topic, with over 50 years of research and development. Advances in deep learning and neural networks have significantly reshaped the landscape of face recognition research and applications in almost all aspects. The key engine of recent face recognition consists of network architecture evolution, a variety of loss functions, and growing face benchmarks. Even though 2D face recognition approaches reached some degree of maturity and reported very high rates of recognition across different benchmarks, the recognition performance degrades dramatically when there are large appearance variations (e.g., ageing, pose, resolution and expression) and poor environmental conditions (e.g., lighting and occlusion). In this Special Issue, we will present the history of face recognition technology, the current state-of-the-art methodologies, and future challenges existing in uncontrolled face recognition. We will specifically concentrate on the most recent large-scale databases, deep learning approaches and sophisticated loss designs in this field. Open issues will be examined and potential directions for research in facial recognition will be proposed to provide the reader with a point of reference for topics that deserve further consideration and exploration.

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.
