Symmetry properties establish the invariance of a system to a given set of transformations. Physicists assign special meaning whenever symmetry is broken in nature; for example, groups of symmetry have been used to explain and predict the spatial organization of atoms in a crystal. Psychologists consider relevant the property of symmetry in the perception of visual signals. The paper will briefly describe different approaches, introduced in computer vision, to measure symmetry. A review of some applications at the Computer Vision Group (Department of Mathematics and Applications of Palermo University) is presented. They regard attentive visual processing, the analysis of faces, the recognition of object, and the analysis of texture.
