Laser Scanning and Point Cloud Processing

Dear Colleagues,

Accurate 3D digital representations of the natural and built environments play an important role in a wide range of applications. Laser scanning is the principal technology for efficient 3D data capture in the form of point clouds. Point clouds can be generated from laser scanners or derived from image matching techniques, although the focus in this Special Issue is on laser scanner point clouds. However, a point is just a point. It is the context that delivers the information on the object behind the point. Research challenges in the field of laser scanning and point cloud processing range from calibration, fusion, interpretation, and modelling, to efficient information extraction and visualization topics. The scope of this Special Issue is therefor rather broad in the sense that we would like to include indoor, mobile, and airborne laser scanners, in combination with point cloud processing algorithms, for a broad range of applications.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
