Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Conventional sensing and imaging systems usually resort to capturing data/light reflected from target scenes. Hence, the captured/sensed data heavily depend on the field of view, and occluded regions remain uncaptured. In contrast, the complete three-dimensional (3D) imaging of such scenes may help to capture image data even from behind an obstacle. Advances in sensing and imaging modalities could therefore usher in a new era of high-quality sensing and high-resolution imaging, which would otherwise be unachievable using the conventional systems. The advent of quantum-inspired techniques, in conjunction with intelligent computational approaches, offers exceptional sensing and imaging solutions that can capture image data even in foggy environments or directly inside the human body. These quantum-inspired techniques have also enabled the design and development of high-end single-photon cameras capable of retrieving high-resolution 3D images. Such quantum-inspired sensing and imaging techniques possess immense potential in autonomous vehicles, automated medical diagnosis, and other sustainable 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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
