Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational imaging has emerged as a transformative domain that is revolutionizing traditional imaging by integrating advanced algorithms, hardware design, and signal processing techniques. This interdisciplinary field combines optics, computer science, and mathematics to overcome the fundamental limitations of conventional cameras and enable new imaging capabilities that were previously impossible.
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and development in computational imaging technologies and systems. We seek to advance the state of the art by bringing together novel theoretical frameworks, innovative hardware architectures, and practical applications across diverse domains.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Computational cameras and smart sensors;
- Compound eye imaging;
- Deep learning- and AI-driven imaging systems;
- Compressed sensing and sparse reconstruction;
- Multispectral and hyperspectral computational imaging;
- Computational microscopy and super-resolution techniques;
- Medical and biomedical imaging applications;
- Astronomical and remote sensing imaging;
- 3D reconstruction and depth estimation;
- Image restoration, denoising, and enhancement algorithms.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
