Intelligent Processing on Image and Optical Information

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent image and optical information processing have significantly contributed to the recent epoch of artificial intelligence and smart cars. Certainly, information acquired by various imaging techniques is of tremendous value, thus intelligent analysis of them is necessary to make the best use of it.

This special issue focuses on the vast range of intelligent processing of image and optical information acquired by various imaging methods. Images are commonly formed via visible light; three-dimensional information is acquired by multi-view imaging or digital holography; infrared, terahertz, and millimeter waves are good resources in a non-visible environment. Synthetic aperture radar and radiographic or ultrasonic imaging constitute military, industrial, and medical regimes. The objectives of intelligent processing range from the refinement of raw data to the symbolic representation and visualization of real world. It comes through unsupervised or supervised learning based on statistical and mathematical models or computational algorithms.

Intelligent processing on image and optical information has been widely involved in a variety of research fields such as video surveillance, biometric recognition, non-destructive testing, medical diagnosis, robotic sensing, compressed sensing, autonomous driving, three-dimensional scene reconstruction, and others. The latest technological developments will be shared through this special issue. We invite researchers and investigators to contribute their original research or review articles to this special issue.

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.
