Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CMOS image sensors are highly integrated optoelectronic chips which convert optical information into digital information that is easy to process and store. Due to the rapid development of CMOS technologies, the performance of CMOS image sensors has been greatly improved, and the functionality of CMOS image sensors has also diversified. Nowadays, CMOS image sensors undergo a widespread application in various field, such as mobile devices, consumer electronics, AR/VR devices, automotive electronics, security monitoring, medical imaging, industrial imaging, spacing imaging, scientific observation, and so on. To form an imaging system, CMOS image sensors are usually companied with some other chips, such as image signal processor, digital signal processor, interface circuit chips, etc. With the development of 3D integration and packaging technology, multiple chips can be integrated into one chip to form more compact imaging systems.
This Special Issue encourages researchers to present their theories, techniques, circuits, and systems of CMOS chips for image sensing and companion chips. The scope of this Special Issue focuses on, but is not limited to:
- CMOS image sensor modeling;
- High-performance active pixels;
- Low-noise readout circuits;
- High-speed imaging techniques;
- Dynamic range extension technology;
- Low-light imaging;
- High-resolution imaging;
- 3D imaging;
- Dynamic vision sensors;
- Spike-based image sensors;
- Sensory and computational integration;
- Image signal processing;
- Single photon counting technique;
- Image sensor interfaces.

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. Electronics 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 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.
