<p>Dear Colleagues<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We are happy to announce a special isssue in JImaging:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Special Issue:</b> Advances in Deep Neural Networks for Visual Pattern Recognition<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Guest Editors:</b> Prof. Dr. Thilo Stadelmann and Dr. Frank-Peter Schilling<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Submission Deadline:</b> 20 February 2022<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Website:</b> <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jimaging/special_issues/deep_neural_network">
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jimaging/special_issues/deep_neural_network</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In this Special Issue of the Journal of Imaging, we request contributions that cover all three aspects: methodical, theoretical, and practical work addressing current issues in visual pattern recognition with novel insights and scientifically founded evaluations.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b>Keywords:</b><br>
- supervised, semisupervised, and unsupervised deep learning<br>
- deep reinforcement learning and active vision<br>
- principles and best practices for neural network architecture design<br>
- generative models for pattern recognition<br>
- interpretability and explainability of neural networks<br>
- robustness and generalization of neural networks (e.g., confidence, sample efficiency, out-of-distribution performance)<br>
- metalearning, Auto-ML<br>
- image classification and segmentation<br>
- object detection<br>
- document analysis, e.g., handwriting recognition<br>
- biometrics<br>
- industrial applications such as predictive maintenance, automatic quality control, etc.<br>
- medical image processing, digital histopathology<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We therefore cordially invite you to submit your next research paper or review article to this Special Issue. Papers can be submitted at any time until the deadline as they will be published *<b>on an ongoing basis*</b>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <i>/Journal of Imaging/</i> is an international, peer-reviewed Open Access journal on all multi/interdisciplinary aspects of imaging research. It has been indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI - Web of Science), Inspec (IET), DBLP Computer
Science Bibliography and Scopus (CiteScore 4.8). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>There are numerous benefits to publishing in /<i>J. Imaging</i>/: (1) open access and high visibility—unlimited access, broad database coverage, and various promotional activities and academic event presentations; (2) rapid turn-around— rapid turnaround:
19.3 days from submission to first decision.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best regards<o:p></o:p></p>
