Pattern Recognition (PR) is an academic journal published by Elsevier. (ISSN 0031-3203, impact factor 7.6, CCF B).

Pattern Recognition is a mature but exciting and fast developing field, which underpins developments in cognate fields such as computer vision, image processing, text and document analysis and neural networks. It is closely akin to machine learning, and also finds applications in fast emerging areas such as biometrics, bioinformatics, multimedia data analysis and most recently data science. The journal Pattern Recognition was established some 50 years ago, as the field emerged in the early years of computer science. Over the intervening years it has expanded considerably. The journal accepts papers making original contributions to the theory, methodology and application of pattern recognition in any area, provided that the context of the work is both clearly explained and grounded in the pattern recognition literature. Papers whos primary concern falls outside the pattern recognition domain and which report routine applications of it using existing or well known methods, should be directed elsewhere. The publication policy is to publish (1) new original articles that have been appropriately reviewed by competent scientific people, (2) reviews of developments in the field, and (3) pedagogical papers covering specific areas of interest in pattern recognition. Various special issues will be organized from time to time on current topics of interest to Pattern Recognition. Submitted papers should be single column, double spaced, no less than 20 and no more than 35 (40 for a review) pages long, with numbered pages.

Special Issue on Spatial Embodied Intelligence of Unmanned Systems in Open Urban Environments Día de Entrega: 2026-06-30 Spatial embodied intelligence has become an emerging and highly popular keyword in recent years. It enables embodied agents to perceive, reason about, and interact with the surrounding environment, playing a crucial role in human society and physical world. Spatial embodied intelligence is a critical piece of the AI puzzle, the related studies of that have attracted much attention in the pattern recognition (PR) community, including but not limited to multi-view clustering, multimodal information fusion, spatial feature extraction, landmark recognition, semantic clustering, visionlanguage alignment, spatial localization and mapping (SLAM), visual reasoning and generative models. Most of the models/approaches are fundamentally dependent on core techniques in pattern recognition. This evolving paradigm now drives innovations across applied domains, such as visual-language navigation, active object search, embodied question & answering, social interaction. Though modern LLMs have made notable progress with world knowledge, planning and reasoning capabilities, and powerful generalization across diverse embodied tasks in static and indoor environments, persistent challenges remain in deploying these LLM-based embodied agents for large-scale, dynamic outdoor scenarios. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on spatial embodied intelligence of unmanned systems (UAVs, UGVs, robots) in open urban environments and calls for papers that study several attractive, natural, and urgent questions: (1) what are the theoretical foundations and recent technological advancements to spatial embodied intelligence; (2) To what extent can existing multimodal large models match human-level performance in executing embodied tasks in outdoor environments; (3) How can task performance of embodied agents be enhanced through approaches such as integration of large and small models, combining fast and slow thinking, finetuning, and post-training? Simulators/testbeds, high-quality task datasets, and metrics for evaluating LLM-based embodied agents in open urban environments; Pre-training multimodal perception large models with multi-source data (e.g., text, vision, depth, point clouds) for unmanned systems in open urban environments; Post-training large reason models with human spatial cognition for unmanned systems in open urban environments; Unified vision-language-action models for embodied tasks in open urban environments; Embodied perception and multimodal spatial representation methods; Multi-view clustering and fusion methods for coordinated urban spatial understanding; Multimodal chain-of-thought methods for reasoning and planning; Combination of LLMs and CV/PR models for decision-making in open urban environments; Human-agent/multi-agent collaborative methods for urban embodied task execution; Downstream applications based on LLM-based embodied agents, such as navigation, search & rescue, question & answering, logistics, and surveillance; Bridging the Sim-to-Real Gap: parallel benchmarks of unmanned systems powered by LLMs. Guest editors: Dr. Hongyuan Zhang The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Prof. Jian Zhao Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, China Dr. Fanglong Yao Aerospace Information Research Institute, Beijing, China Dr. Mingyu Ding The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, United States Dr. Zhengqiu Zhu National University of Defense Technology China, Changsha, China Manuscript submission information: Open for Submission: from 01-Oct-2025 to 30-Jun-2026 Submission Site: Editorial Manager® Article Type Name: "VSI: PR_ Spatial Embodied Intelligence" - please select this item when you submit manuscripts online All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.

Special Issue on Adaptive and Scalable Vision Models in Dynamic and Resource-Constrained Environments Día de Entrega: 2026-11-30 In today’s rapidly evolving world, vision models are playing an increasingly crucial role in a variety of applications, including robotics, autonomous driving, healthcare, industrial automation, and environmental monitoring. However, these models often face challenges in dynamic, complex, and resource-constrained environments where data is noisy, incomplete, or continuously evolving. Traditional deep learning models typically rely on vast amounts of labeled data and significant computational resources, making them less feasible in real-world settings. As the demand for more adaptable and scalable systems grows, the integration of advanced learning techniques such as few-shot learning (FSL), zero-shot learning (ZSL), incremental learning (IL), and continual learning (CL) has emerged as a promising approach to overcome these limitations. These techniques allow vision systems to operate effectively even with limited data and evolving tasks, making them ideal for dynamic and resource-constrained environments. This special issue aims to gather cutting-edge research on adaptive and scalable visual models that can work efficiently in dynamic and resource limited environments. We welcome contributions from theoretical and applied research to address major challenges such as data scarcity, computational limitations, and task development. The paper should explore new algorithms, models, and frameworks to push the limits of visual system possibilities while ensuring practical applications in real-world scenarios.

Special Issue on Agentic AI for Pattern Recognition Día de Entrega: 2027-03-31 Agentic AI has achieved remarkable success by combining the deep semantic understanding and generative capabilities of foundation models with autonomous agency, tool integration, and environmental interaction. This agentic paradigm is now catalyzing a parallel transformation in pattern recognition (PR), shifting the field beyond traditional static classification toward dynamic, interactive systems capable of autonomous decision-making. Contemporary Large Language Model (LLM) agents operate through sophisticated perception–reasoning–action loops that enable them to perceive multimodal environmental inputs, reason over complex patterns through chain-of-thought mechanisms, and execute contextually appropriate actions. This paradigm shift demands a critical re-examination of how pattern recognition systems are designed, moving from isolated task-specific models to generalist agents that can adaptively handle diverse recognition tasks through unified architectures. To this end, this special issue seeks to capture the transformative potential of PR Agent frameworks, where perception modules extract meaningful representations from raw sensory data, reasoning systems formulate adaptive strategies for pattern interpretation, and action mechanisms enable iterative refinement through environmental feedback. This special issue is founded on the premise that LLM agents and other agentic AI approaches for PR should be understood not only as a powerful set of methods, but as an emerging scientific and technical paradigm for the field. In alignment with the mission of pattern recognition research, we seek contributions that move beyond narrow performance gains to engage with the deeper disciplinary questions opened by this transition: how perception–reasoning–action loops reshape pattern perception, reasoning, recognition, interaction, and decision-making; how they alter the relationship between static feature extraction and dynamic, context-aware interpretation; and how they demand new pattern recognition frameworks for trust, robustness, interpretability, and responsible deployment. This special issue aims not merely to document an emerging trend, but to help define the next intellectual horizon of pattern recognition as a field where recognition and action are inseparably coupled through continuous perception–reasoning–action cycles, and where pattern understanding emerges from active, goal-directed engagement with dynamically changing environments.

Special Issue on Multimodal Representation Learning Based on Vision Foundation Models Día de Entrega: 2027-03-31 Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in foundation models-large-scale neural networks pre-trained on vast amounts of data-that exhibit strong generalization and transfer capabilities across diverse tasks and domains. In the visual domain, vision foundation models (VFMs) such as CLIP, DINOv2 and Segment Anything Model (SAM), have demonstrated unprecedented performance in zero-shot recognition, segmentation, captioning, and cross-modal alignment. These models serve as powerful backbones for multimodal understanding, enabling rich, joint representations that bridge vision with language, audio, depth, motion, and other sensory signals. However, despite rapid advancements, fundamental challenges remain in how to effectively leverage VFMs for robust, efficient, and interpretable multimodal representation learning. Key open questions include: How can we align heterogeneous modalities in a unified semantic space? How do we adapt frozen or partially trainable VFMs to downstream multimodal tasks with limited labeled data? What architectural and training paradigms best support compositional reasoning, temporal modeling, or 3D scene understanding using VFMs as priors? This special issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research that explores the intersection of vision foundation models and multimodal representation learning, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, and cognitive science communities.

By focusing on vision foundation models as a unifying substrate, it will catalyze innovations that move beyond task-specific pipelines toward general-purpose, perception-capable AI systems. The issue is expected to attract submissions from leading academic labs and industry research groups, thereby shaping future directions in foundation model research and multimodal intelligence. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Architectures & Frameworks: Novel multimodal fusion strategies leveraging VFMs (e.g., late/early/hybrid fusion, cross-attention mechanisms, adapter modules). Training Paradigms: Self-supervised, contrastive, generative, or instruction-tuning approaches for aligning vision with other modalities using foundation models. Efficiency & Adaptation: Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), distillation, quantization, or continual learning techniques for VFM-based multimodal systems. Reasoning & Compositionality: Using VFMs to support symbolic, causal, or hierarchical reasoning across modalities.3D & Embodied Multimodal Learning: Integrating VFMs with depth, LiDAR, robotics, or egocentric vision for spatial and interactive understanding. Evaluation & Benchmarks: New datasets, metrics, or evaluation protocols for assessing multimodal generalization, robustness, and fairness.
