Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the development process of modern industry and science, there are various requirements for industrial inspection technology. Industrial inspection technology is a complex interdisciplinary field that involves optical devices, optical processing, artificial intelligence, neurobiology, signal processing, computer science, image processing, machine learning and other fields. Especially in recent years, a series of important research achievements have been made in the field of industrial inspection technology. It is within this context that we announce the Special Issue of Photonics on “State-of-the-Art Optical Inspection Technology”.
This Special Issue intends to provide a timely opportunity for scientists and researchers, as well as engineers, to discuss and summarize the latest inspection methods in industrial applications. We invite papers that include, but are not exclusive to, the following topics: defect inspection; machine learning; hyperspectral imaging algorithms; image super-resolution; machine vision; image synthesis methods; illumination design; optical design; image fusion; non-destructive testing and evaluation; precision measurements and metrology; freeform design; manufacturing technology; precision machining; precision polishing; additive manufacturing. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as are comprehensive reviews and survey papers.

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.
