Pattern recognition, machine vision, and imaging are a setof techniques and methods belonging to machine learning.They focus on approach linked to recognition of patterns,regularities in data, computer vision, and image processing.Pattern recognition, machine vision, and imaging share othertopics such as artificial intelligence and learning techniques.

Moreover, signal processing is a fundamental domainbased on several techniques which encompasses the fun-damental theory, applications, algorithms, and implemen-tation of processing or transferring information. It usesmathematical, statistical, and computational representationsand formalisms for representation, modeling, analysis, andsynthesis of data.

This special issue is dedicated to latest developments inthe area of machine learning methods. The target audienceswere researchers in machine learning and computationalintelligence applied to image processing, signal processing,biomedical system, and security of the environment. Aftera strict review, seven articles from researchers around theworld were finally accepted. In one paper, A. Helwan andD. U. Ozsahin proposed an approach based on a slidingwindow based machine learning system for the left ventriclelocalisation in MR cardiac images. In another paper, L. Duanet al. proposed a deep hashing based fusing index methodfor large-scale image retrieval. In one of the papers, H. Panet al. proposed a regular k-shrinkage thresholding operatorfor the removal of mixed Gaussian-impulse noise. In anotherpaper, X. Sun et al. proposed a color image denoising basedon guided filter and adaptive wavelet threshold. In one paper,

N. Nematzadeh and D. M. W. Powers proposed local andglobal perception frommultiple scales to multiscale. Y. Lianget al. proposedmultifeature andneighbor based salient regiondetection for social images. In another one, W. Chinsatit andT. Saitoh proposed CNN-based pupil center detection forwearable gaze estimation system.
