Applications of Computer Vision in 3D Perception

Dear Colleagues,

As robots and autonomous systems deviate from laboratory setups towards complex real-world scenarios, both the 3D perception capabilities of these systems and their abilities to acquire and model 3D semantic information must become more powerful. This Special Issue focuses on a broad variety of topics in the area of computer vision in 3D perception, from novel 3D imaging methods, optical sensors, signal processing, geometric modeling, representation, and transmission to visualization, analysis, interaction, and a variety of applications.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
