Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry and its relative extension has driven great innovations in sciences including physics, chemical, and mathematics. In fact, the importance of symmetry is undeniable in computer vision as it plays a crucial role in various theories and applications from signal processing and object recognition to scene understanding.
This Special Issue aims to bring together a collection of at least 10 articles that explore the scientific background, theoretical foundations, and practical applications of symmetry or asymmetry in computer vision. The Special Issue may be printed in book form if the minimum number of articles is reached. And articles submitted to this Special Issue will be published by the journal within 5 or less days on average if it is accepted after reviewing is finished.
We invite original research articles and reviews that address, but are not limited to, the followings:
- Theoretical foundations of symmetry or asymmetry in computer vision;
- Symmetry-based algorithms for object recognition and scene analysis;
- Applications of symmetry in medical image processing;
- Symmetry and/or asymmetry study of neuroscience cases;
- Symmetry computational intelligence in signal and multimedia analysis;
- Signal analysis theory applications in symmetry detection;
- Optimization techniques involving symmetry architecture;
- Large models design and application inspired by symmetry concept;
- Novel methods in computer vision originating from other fields.
Please submit your manuscript via the journal's online submission system, ensuring that you select the appropriate article type for the Special Issue. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review, and authors will be notified of the outcome as soon as possible.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to showcasing the latest research in symmetry and its applications in computer vision. For any inquiries regarding the Special Issue, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Yunyi Yan directly.

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.
