Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, titled “Asymmetry and Symmetry in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition”, aims to explore the intricate interplay between symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns within visual data processing. Symmetry has long been a fundamental concept in human perception and machine learning, influencing various applications such as object recognition, scene understanding, and image segmentation. Conversely, asymmetry often conveys critical information about objects and their environments, making it equally significant in computer vision tasks. This Special Issue invites contributions that address theoretical advancements, algorithmic innovations, and practical applications relating to symmetry and asymmetry in visual data. Topics may include but are not limited to symmetry detection algorithms, the role of asymmetry in deep learning models, and the implications of these concepts in real-world applications like medical imaging, autonomous systems, and augmented reality. By uniting researchers from diverse backgrounds, this Special Issue aims to foster a deeper understanding of how symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns can enhance the capabilities of computer vision and pattern recognition systems.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
