Techniques in Multi-View Image Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid proliferation of multi-camera arrays, light field imaging systems, and immersive visual technologies, researchers increasingly seek to enable comprehensive visual understanding through multi-perspective analysis. Consequentially, techniques for processing and interpreting multi-view imagery are advancing at an unprecedented pace, driving demand for greater computational efficiency, robust cross-view consistency mechanisms, and more sophisticated learning-based algorithms capable of handling complex real-world scenarios.

This Special Issue, titled "Techniques in Multi-View Image Analysis", will provide researchers an international platform for exploring cutting-edge trends, reporting groundbreaking achievements, and identifying emerging research directions in multi-view data processing. We invite original contributions on novel multi-view acquisition systems, advanced reconstruction methods, and end-to-end learning-based analysis pipelines. Articles addressing fundamental challenges in light field processing, cross-view geometric consistency, occlusion handling, and scalable multi-view representation learning are also of significant interest.

Potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Multi-view image enhancement;
• Multi-view image segmentation;
• Multi-view stereo;
• Novel view synthesis;
• Light field image processing;
• Multi-view learning;
• Multi-view object recognition;
• Multi-view image quality assessment;
• Three-dimensional point cloud/mesh processing;
• Cross-view feature fusion;
• Multi-view sensor calibration;
• Deep geometric learning for multi-view reconstruction.

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. Journal of Imaging 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 1800 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.
