“Cites/paper” is the OpenAlex 2-year citation rate — a transparent signal, not a licensed Impact Factor. Many regional and open-access journals are strong but aren’t covered by Scimago, so they show “no Scimago quartile”; that’s a coverage gap, not a quality judgement.

Frequently asked

EURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing, Journal of Imaging, IET Image Processing, IET Computer Vision, EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing lead this list, drawn from a 17,782-venue index. All 27 ranked venues are listed on this page; 5 are Scimago Q1, 8 Q2, 7 Q3, 2 Q4 and 5 have no Scimago quartile. By Scimago quartile first (Q1 → Q4, then venues without one). Within a quartile, venues whose main OpenAlex subfield is Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition come before those that list it second or third, and ties go to OpenAlex cites/paper over a 2-year window. A venue whose main subfield is unrelated to Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition — fewer than a quarter of the venues filed under that subfield (or fewer than five) are also filed under Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition — is listed after all the others. Only open-access venues are included. Cites/paper is a transparent citation rate, not a licensed Impact Factor, and journals flagged as predatory are excluded.
