Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry and asymmetry are mathematical concepts largely used in image processing. These concepts play a pivotal role in (i) enhancing collected data, (ii) improving object extraction, (iii) improving image classification, (iv) identifying patterns in data, and (v) detecting anomalies in data. Remote sensing technologies provide a wide range of images—such as satellite images, aerial photographs, UAV images, and aeromagnetic images, among others—that are largely used in different scientific fields (cartography, hydrology, geophysics, ecology, geography, environmentology, etc.). In fact, remote sensing images are mainly used to automatically map natural hazards (landslides, floods, erosion, earthquakes, etc.), natural resources (forests, surface water, ices, mineralization, etc.), surface forms (geological structures and formations, dunes, trees, ships, etc.), and anthropogenic impacts (water pollution, deforestation, land use/land cover change, land and soil loss, biodiversity loss, etc.).
This Special Issue, entitled “Symmetry/Asymmetry in Remote Sensing and Applications”, aims to explore these mathematical concepts by enhancing and enriching remote sensing image processing. This Special Issue aims to develop new methods of extracting Earth surface features and detecting Earth surface changes by covering a wide range of topics in geosciences and the environment. This Special Issue seeks to contribute to the advancement of research in remote sensing image processing and its applications.

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.
