Dear Colleagues,

Color and photometry are two of the most important attributes of the natural environment. Light is an electromagnetic wave radiated form, for example, thermal sources or emissions caused by a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state. When light interacts with materials, it reflects, transmits, scatters, polarizes, or is absorbed. Camera sensors and human eyes receive light as a result of complicated physical phenomena. Physics-based vision is a research topic that analyzes physical phenomena in order to extract rich information from the scene. Recent growth of image sensors and computational tools have expanded the field of computer vision. Such innovation in terms of both hardware and software also provide rapid progress in the physics-based vision field.

The objective of this Special Issue is to provide opportunities to share new insights with researchers in various fields that will contribute to a future roadmap of physics-based vision. Papers must be original research of novel results or a suitable review of the current state-of-the-art.

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. Journal of Imaging is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
