Recent Advancements in 3D Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

The field of 3D imaging is rapidly evolving, with significant advancements that enhance our ability to capture, analyze, display, store, and deliver 3D information. This Special Issue will explore a diverse array of topics within the realm of 3D imaging, encompassing both foundational techniques and novel applications. Key areas of interest include:

• 3D Image Processing and Analysis Techniques: surface and volume modeling, segmentation, feature detection, morphological operations, reconstruction, texture mapping, and visualization methods.
• Multimodal Integration and Large Language Models: The integration of 3D imaging with multimodal data sources and the utilization of large language models to enhance image interpretation, automated analysis, and interaction with 3D data.
• Applications Across Various Domains: The application of 3D imaging in diverse fields such as healthcare (e.g., medical imaging, surgical planning), biometrics, entertainment (e.g., 3D animation, gaming), CAD/CAM and prototyping, architecture, environmental monitoring, and heritage conservation.

The inclusion of multimodal approaches and large language models represents a significant advancement in the 3D imaging domain. By leveraging these technologies, we can achieve more sophisticated analysis, improved user interaction, and enhanced interpretability of 3D data. This Special Issue aims to highlight these synergies and their impact on both research and practical applications.

We invite researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and related fields to contribute their latest findings and insights. Through this Special Issue, we hope to foster collaboration, drive innovation, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of 3D imaging technologies.

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.
