Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The number of infrared image applications has been growing considerably over the last few decades; this evolution is mainly motivated by the appearance of new devices, as well as the reduction in the price of technology. Today, infrared-based devices can be found in domains that range from medical applications to computer games or industrial solutions. Infrared images are divided into different categories, including near infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR). Images from each one of these subcategories have their own characteristics that make them attractive to specific applications. It should be noted that these characteristics are not only used to develop new applications, but also to improve the appearance of the corresponding VS image in case it is available, for instance, in noise filtering, image enhancement, and dehazing. In other words, infrared imaging is becoming a solid source of additional information for a wide range of applications.
This Special Issue is intended to review the state of the art on infrared imaging, from image acquisition to processing, and understanding of all the infrared spectra. The following infrared imaging topics will be covered, but this Special Issue is not limited to only these topics:
- Imaging systems (NIR/SWIR/MWIR/LWIR);
- Processing (filtering, coloring, feature extraction, and matching);
- Representation (fusion, thermal mapping);
- Understanding (machine learning, pattern recognition);
- Deep/transfer learning, domain adaptation;
- Vision-aided navigation;
- Sensing for agriculture and food safety;
- Autonomous driving;
- Thermal image applications;
- Remote sensing

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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
