Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of computer vision becomes crucial when addressing large-scale variations across diverse categories of images processed by algorithms to solve domain-specific, real-life applications. This Special Issue aims to cover a wide range of image processing applications, emphasizing the role of symmetry in visual data. The analysis of symmetry in visual information plays an important role in enhancing system sustainability and ensuring data security, particularly when matching information across different phases of real-world processes. Notably, satellite aperture ranging (SAR), healthcare analytics, and agriculture and food processing systems represent key domains where computer vision-based symmetry algorithms can make significant contributions. Data collected from these domains are vital for advancing sustainability in agriculture and improving land-use classification through visual data analysis. At the same time, designing symmetrical computer vision systems requires addressing challenges related to security threats. The research articles featured in this Issue are expected to advance the fields of emerging machine learning, data science, and natural language processing techniques.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Basic background of symmetry in computer vision algorithms;
(2) Transformer and continual learning of visual symmetry in plant images;
(3) Vertical, horizontal, and radial symmetry in aerial image;
(4) Symmetry in graph transformer for deepfake detection;
(5) Explainable intelligence for security in symmetrical information;
(6) Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) symmetry in visual for detection and tracking;
(7) Symmetric mask computation of sustainable data in agriculture;
(8) Visual attention mapping with symmetric transformer for healthcare;
(9) Symmetrical patterns in climate change detection;
(10) Video streaming of symmetrical patterns in time series data;
(11) Deep data analytics of symmetrical patterns and segmenting medical images;
(12) Video-based symmetrical controls for traffic monitoring;
(13) Symmetry-based 3D shape recovery;
(14) Land use-based change detection in symmetry for agriculture;
(15) Symmetric patterns detection of medicinal plants;
(16) Symmetric transformer and explainable learning for face forgery;
(17) Symmetric and asymmetric environmental effect on medicinal plants images;
(18) Symmetric vision of video processing for sport analytics;
(19) Sensor network-based smart symmetrical vision;
(20) Dynamic model of symmetrical study on financial markets and risk management.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
