Image Processing in Soft Condensed Matter

Dear Colleagues,

Soft condensed matter consists of mesoscopic particles that are significantly larger than atoms, but much smaller than the overall system. Due to their spatial and temporal scales, these individual constituents are often visible using suitable experimental techniques such as confocal microscopes, and their locations and dynamics can be studied. Examples of soft matter systems are granular systems, colloids, complex plasmas, and foams. All these diverse systems are united by common techniques and challenges in image processing.

The intent of the Special Issue on “Image Processing in Soft Condensed Matter” is to bring together specialists from various soft matter fields to present imaging processing techniques covering topics such as particle imaging velocimetry (PIV), particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), stereoscopic imaging, 3D visualization, and machine learning techniques for image processing. We are looking for review articles presenting the state-of-the-art of commonly-used techniques, as well as novel contributions.

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.
