Advances and Applications in Computational Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, computational imaging technology has become one of the hottest research directions in the field of imaging and sensing, and great advances have been made. Many theories and experiments have proved that computational imaging technology has high efficiency in information extraction, as well as good anti-interference. At present, the proof-of-principle verification of this technology from X-ray to microwave band has been realized, and some unique advantages such as far-field super-resolution imaging, high-resolution imaging through scattering medium, and non-line-of-sight imaging have also been demonstrated. This technology has important application prospects in remote sensing, automatic driving, industrial production and detection, life science and medical diagnosis, national defense security and other fields. However, there are still many problems to be urgently solved for the practical applications. Moreover, computational imaging is a product of interdisciplinary integration, which will further promote the development of physics, mathematics, information science, computer science and other disciplines.

This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances and applications in computational imaging; original research articles and reviews are welcomed. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Single-pixel imaging.
• Ghost imaging.
• Computational holography.
• Single-photon imaging.
• Computational imaging theory and reconstruction algorithms.
• Computational spectral imaging.
• Non-line-of-sight imaging.
• Scattering imaging.
• Coded imaging.
• Light field manipulation.
• Signal processing for imaging and sensing.

We look forward to receiving your 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. 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.
