Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit a research paper for a Special Issue of the journal Sensors entitled “Advances in Multispectral Sensing, Imaging Techniques and Computational Applications in Cultural Heritage”.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest and most current techniques, methods, and applications that specifically address the analysis and representation of cultural heritage in its spatial and material characteristics, using non-invasive imaging techniques and computational data.
The following topics are of particular interest for this Special Issue:
- Development and application of multi-band, multi-/hyper-spectral imaging techniques (UVIL, VIS, IR, IRFC, VIL) and multivariate analysis to characterize artistic techniques and pictorial materials of cultural heritage;
- Reflectance transformation imaging (RTI) for surface characterization;
- Development and application of multi-scale and multi-resolution 3D digital surveying techniques (photogrammetry, laser scanners, structured light scanners, laser microprofilometers, holographic speckle interferometry) for advanced metrological monitoring and analysis of movable and immovable artworks;
- Integration of multimodal diagnostic methods and data fusion protocols (multispectral 3D modeling, 3D point cloud data fusion) for integrated documentation of radiometric and morphometric data.
You as well as your colleagues and interested researchers are welcome to submit for this Special Issue.

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.
