Advanced Research Based on Multi-Dimensional Point Cloud Analysis

Because of the evolution of data acquisition techniques together with the availability of more powerful computers and software, the use of so-called point clouds for advanced research on the geometry and spectral characteristics of objects and the object space becomes more and more generally accepted. As point clouds are generated by different data acquisition methods, such as terrestrial laser scanning, mobile mapping, multibeam, photogrammetry, etc., the application domain is also diverse.

This Special Issue aims to collect and share innovative research that reflects the diversity of research based on point clouds, starting from the multi-dimensional point clouds for analyses, interpretation, improvement and more. The research domains can be, but are not limited to

• bathymetry,
• erosion,
• static and mobile laser scanning,
• mobile mapping,
• photogrammetry,
• creation of DTM and DSM,
• classification based on spectral or radiometric characteristics,
• deformation measurements, and
• other applications of point clouds.

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. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1900 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.
