Recent Advances in CMOS Image Sensor

Dear Colleagues,

The CMOS image sensor has evolved from an image acquisition device to having sensing capabilities. Continuous innovations have seen advancements and improvements in areas including pixel size, read noise, readout speed, efficiency, time resolution, power consumption, and stacking structure. These enable various kinds of applications, such as high-dynamic-range, time-of-flight, single-photon counting, augmented reality/virtual reality, biomedical imaging, and many others. CMOS image sensors exist in a diverse variety of products in our everyday life, from consumer electronics such as mobile phones and digital cameras to automotive, security, medical, and others. These are expected to continuously grow with advanced performance and new functionalities. This Special Issue aims at highlighting the recent developments in CMOS image sensor technology and applications.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Circuit and pixel designs of CMOS image sensor;
• Low noise;
• High-dynamic range;
• Global shutter;
• High-speed imagers;
• Photon-counting imagers;
• Time-of-flight;
• Computational and biomedical imaging;
• Microscopy and spectroscopy;
• Emerging 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 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-anonymized 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.
