Computational Colour Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

With the advent of digital cameras and scanners, mobile devices, various types of displays, and the Web, digital colour images have become ubiquitous. In order to ensure a consistent, convincing, and pleasing reproduction of colour images across the wide variety of currently available technologies, a thorough understanding of the many different aspects of the cross-disciplinary field of colour imaging is needed.

Everything from vision and perception through optics and sensors to display technologies must be taken into account. In order to bind all of this together in a colour imaging chain, various mathematical models and computational algorithms are called for. This includes—but is certainly not limited to—geometric and colorimetric camera calibration, demosaicing, denoising, deblurring, colour balancing, colour conversion, high-dynamic-range image rendering, and colour gamut mapping.

The objective of this Special Issue is to bring together and showcase the various parts of the colour imaging chain where the computational aspects are of particular importance, and to bring forward new and innovative applications and methods. Papers must be original research of novel results or a suitable review of the current state-of-the-art.

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.
