Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, machine learning and optimization have become central tools in image analysis and computer vision, providing powerful methodologies for solving challenging real-world imaging problems. This Special Issue focuses on new mathematical models, learning frameworks, and optimization algorithms that advance the state of the art in imaging science. We invite contributions that address both theoretical and practical aspects, including novel learning-based approaches, efficient optimization strategies, and interdisciplinary applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, data-driven image reconstruction, variational and optimization-driven imaging methods, deep architectures for visual understanding, trustworthy and explainable AI for imaging, and rigorous analysis of algorithms for large-scale visual data. We especially welcome works that connect solid mathematical theory with innovative applications in areas such as medical imaging, remote sensing, autonomous systems, and industrial inspection.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
