Symmetry in Image Processing and Visualization

Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry in digital image processing and visualization is one of the most rapidly evolving fields of information technology today, and its applications are widely expanded in various fileds such as medical imaging, remote sensing, industrial inspection, computer vision and robotics, photo editing, and information visualization. With the rapid growth of multimedia content in social media and smartphone apps, innovative image processing tools and applications are popular for providing featured images to promote the aesthetics, entertainment, publicity, integrity, and security of these applications. The symmetry between visual quality and system performance is one of the most important issues for implementing practical applications. This Special Issue of symmetry invites original research or studies into techniques and applications of symmetry in image processing and visualization. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Symmetric image filtering, enhancement, and smoothing
• Image analysis, segmentation, recognition, and understanding
• Image representation, compression, and coding
• Symmety-based data visualization
• Symmetry-based image communication
• Image hiding and steganography
• Image sharing and visual secret sharing
• Artifical intelligence and image processing
• Symmetric image processing applications

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Symmetry” and the Special Issue “Symmetry in Image Processing and Visualization” via: MDPI submission system. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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-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.
