Special Issue Information
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging is a well-established technology that enables the acquisition, storage, manipulation, delivery, and evaluation of a higher dynamic range than the one available in traditional 8-bit per color channel technology (standard dynamic range (SDR) technology). This has brought a number of advantages, such as more realistic color reproduction, more details in bright and dark areas, better contrast, improved colors, etc. This has revolutionized the way we are now experiencing entertainment, as well as the way we are using images and videos in the image processing and computer vision fields. HDR imaging has finally moved from academia to the market.
We are experiencing a large use of HDR technology in the entertainment sector, and are also starting to see its use in industrial applications. On the other hand, we are assisting in a paradigm change in the image-processing area, where traditional techniques are surpassed by more flexible deep-learning-based approaches. In the last few years, we are also observing this specific trend in the HDR imaging field. This has brought a number of challenges that need to be addressed in order to make deep-learning-based HDR approaches more robust and resilient to unseen data and/or data which is too noisy.
Topics included but not limited to
Deep-learning-based techniques for images/videos for:
- High dynamic range (i.e., camera, image and vision, sensors);
- Single/multi-exposure HDR content acquisition;
- Image fusion for HDR content;
- HDR formats and standardization;
- HDR objective metrics;
- HDR de-ghosting artifacts removal;
- Tone mapping/inverse tone mapping;
- Color correction for HDR content;
- Gamut adjustment for HDR content;
- Real-time HDR applications;
- Mixed reality for HDR;
- Image-based lighting.

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.
