Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Underwater (UW) 3D recording and modelling represent an open challenge for scientists and engineers in various disciplines. Sensors and algorithms developed and optimized for in-land applications are not best suited for the harsh conditions of the submerged environment. However, in the last years, we have been witnessing groundbreaking technological developments, which allow to measure, digitize, and study the underwater world with unprecedented accuracy and level of details. Photogrammetry-based approaches coupled with virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) applications are becoming more and more diffuse in interdisciplinary communities, such as archeology, biology, industry. At the same time, acoustic and lidar sensors are leading the large-scale underwater mapping competition.
Motivated by this consideration, the current Special Issue aims to collect the best research papers that will be presented in the 2nd edition of the workshop ‘UNDERWATER 3D RECORDING & MODELLING’ organized in Limassol (Cyprus) on May 2–3, 2019, as well as to attract the latest contributions from the international community.
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their works on innovative approaches, methodologies, and applications using acoustic, LiDAR, or image sensors in underwater photogrammetry, 3D reconstruction for VR and AR applications, cultural heritage and archaeology, 3D metrology, marine biology, 3D scanning, underwater platforms (ROV, robots, etc.), 4D modelling, bathymetry, sensor integration and data fusion, reference control, and accuracy assessment of underwater surveys.

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.
