Image Processing and Pattern Recognition 2022

Dear Colleagues,

Recent decades have witnessed the success of image processing and pattern recognition in many fields, such as image denoising, image synthesization and translation, and biometric recognition. Automated image analysis and information extraction from mass real-world data have significantly increased productivity in practical engineering applications. In particular, deep learning and other advanced methods are accelerating the revolution. Computational intelligence will play a key role in the revolution, due to its potential power in information processing, decision making and knowledge management.

This Special Issue aims to gather recent advances in both theoretical and practical studies of computational intelligence, emphasizing image processing and pattern recognition. Potential topics include, but are not limited, to the use of computational intelligence techniques such as neural networks, fuzzy logic, metaheuristics and expert systems in the following fields:

• Image processing, including morphology, filtering and enhancement, etc.;
• Supervised/semi-supervised/unsupervised learning;
• Reinforcement learning;
• Deep learning theory and applications;
• Pattern recognition;
• Computer vision;
• Natural language processing;
• Time-series analysis;
• Data mining.

Advances in computational intelligence for image processing and pattern recognition and their cutting-edge applications are particularly welcome for this Special Issue.

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. 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.
