Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

Computational Optical Sensing and Imaging is a multidisciplinary area that has developed rapidly in the last two decades. From initial PSF engineering, to compressive sensing, single-pixel imaging, light field, lensless imaging, and recent event-driven and non-line-of-sight imaging, COSI has many exciting research themes. By jointly designing optical, electronic, and data processing components, a COSI system has capabilities that are not afforded by classical methods. The rapid progression of AI and nanotechnology is advancing COSI into a new stage of development. 

This Special Issue will focus on the methods, systems, and experimental techniques used to in COSI， especially the AI- and nanotechnology-assisted ones. Topics of interest are related to, but not limited by, the following: basic theories of computational imaging, computational microscopy, compressive imaging (including compressive spectral imaging), computational display for AR/VR, computational holography, event-driven computational imaging, imaging through scattering media, lensless imaging, LIDAR, light field, non-line-of-sight imaging, single-pixel imaging, structure illumination for 3D imaging, and super-resolution.

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. 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.
