Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational optical imaging is an indirect method to acquire target information which may be hard to access by direct observation. On the basis of geometrical optics, computational imaging gathers more information as prior knowledge (in different cases this could be, for instance, polarization, phase, sparsity, positivity, etc.), and retrieves seemingly unreachable information by using mathematical analysis and specific signal processing algorithms. Thanks to the rapid development of hardware devices, computational optical imaging has attracted more attention in recent years and its development covers various fields, ranging from astronomical imaging to microscopic imaging. Except for the advantage of being able to obtain more information, computational optical imaging could also be low cost and simplify optical design. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances in computational optical imaging, including novel concepts and interesting practical applications.
This Special Issue focuses on (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- Imaging through scattering media;
- Wavefront shaping and transmission matrix;
- Deep imaging inside the tissue;
- Non-line-of-sight imaging;
- Super-resolution imaging;
- Lensless imaging;
- Polarization imaging;
- Wavefront sensing;
- Adaptive optics in microscopy;
- Compressed 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. 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.
