Advances in Scattering Imaging and Single-Pixel/Ghost Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in optoelectronic imaging technology have reported several intriguing and useful novel imaging modalities, such as scattering imaging and single-pixel/ghost imaging. Scattering imaging exploits the scattered light, instead of suppressing it as the traditional OCT does, to reconstruct the image of an object hidden behind scattering media. Single-pixel/ghost imaging only utilizes a single-pixel detector without spatial resolution, instead of a 2D array detector, to reconstruct the image of a target object that is sampled by a series of modulation patterns. The novel imaging modalities are not only free from conventional thinking and thus very interesting but also very useful. Scattering imaging techniques can be used for imaging through turbid liquids, imaging around a corner, deeper or super-resolution imaging inside biological tissues, and so on. Single-pixel/ghost imaging techniques have the unique advantages of performing non-scanning imaging in a wide waveband, where 2D array detectors are not available, as well as imaging with a large dynamic range or under low light conditions.

Currently, the areas involving scattering imaging and single-pixel/ghost imaging are developing rapidly. We are pleased to invite you to submit your papers to this Special Issue of Photonics entitled ‘Advances in Scattering Imaging and Single-Pixel/Ghost Imaging’ to share your latest research progress in this field.

This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, letters, brief communications, and reviews involving state-of-the-art optoelectronic imaging techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Imaging through scattering media;
• Super-resolution imaging through scattering media;
• Noninvasive imaging or tracking through scattering media;
• Imaging or measurements with a scattering lens;
• Single-pixel/ghost imaging;
• Single-pixel interferometry;
• Single-pixel holographic imaging;
• Single-pixel quantitative phase imaging;
• Single-pixel microscopy.

Looking forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
