Geometry Reconstruction from Images

Dear Colleagues,

Understanding image contents has been a tremendous source of research advances, with many different focuses, targeted applications, needs, or scientific starting points. A wide range of existing approaches nowadays are employed in the industry for many considerations, including, for instance, quality in engineering production, video-based security, or 3D modeling in gaming applications or movies. Yet, reconstructing a representation of a scene observed through a camera remains a challenging aspect in general, and the specific question of producing a (static or dynamic) geometric model has led to decades of research, and still corresponds to a very active scientific domain. Sensors are continuously evolving, bringing more and more accuracy, resolution, and new opportunities for reconstructing objects’ shape and/or detailed geometric variations.

This Special Issue is dedicated to the reconstruction of geometry from images, including, but not limited to, videos, multispectral images, or time of flight. We wish to encourage original contributions that focus on the power of imaging methods for recovering geometric representations of objects or parts of objects. Contributions may correspond to various approaches, which could include shape-from-X approaches, deep learning, photometric stereo, etc.

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.
