Intelligent Computational Optical Imaging
This special issue belongs to the section "Data-Science Based Techniques in Photonics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent computational optical imaging is reshaping the way we acquire, reconstruct, and understand visual information. By combining optical hardware, physical modeling, and artificial intelligence, this emerging field is pushing imaging beyond traditional limits in resolution, sensitivity, speed, and efficiency. It is creating new opportunities across microscopy, biomedicine, machine vision, sensing, and other frontiers of photonics.
This Special Issue highlights recent advances at the intersection of optics, computation, and intelligence. It aims to showcase innovative concepts, methods, and systems that demonstrate how the joint design of optical encoding and computational decoding can unlock new imaging capabilities and inspire next-generation optical technologies.

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-anonymized 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.
