Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Symmetry in Signal Processing” aims to explore the role of symmetry in modern signal analysis, representation, and interpretation. Symmetry concepts, whether spatial, temporal, spectral, or statistical, are increasingly utilized to enhance signal processing techniques across diverse applications, including biomedical imaging, audio compression, pattern recognition, communications, and artificial intelligence.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of symmetry in signal processing—ranging from mathematical models and transform-based approaches to machine learning frameworks that leverage symmetric properties in data structures. Of particular interest are studies involving wavelet and Fourier analysis, ICA/PCA, deep neural networks, and applications to ECG/EEG analysis, image denoising, and time-series forecasting. Contributions discussing symmetry breaking, invariant feature extraction, and symmetry-aware optimization techniques are also highly encouraged.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote cutting-edge research that highlights the importance of symmetry as a guiding principle in the design of efficient, interpretable, and robust signal processing 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.
