Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of computer vision has witnessed a number of transformative breakthroughs thanks to the advent of Neural Radiance Fields (Nerf), a revolutionary technique that has redefined the way we perceive and reconstruct three-dimensional scenes. This Special Issue delves into the intriguing realm of Nerf-based scene reconstruction which is specifically tailored towards Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). As UAVs continue to proliferate across various domains, from cinematography to surveillance, the ability to reconstruct detailed and accurate 3D models of the environments in which they operate becomes paramount.
Our exploration encompasses the underlying principles of Nerf and its adaptation to the unique challenges posed by UAV-generated data. We explore the fusion of vision and robotics, unlocking the potential for real-time, high-fidelity scene reconstruction from aerial perspectives. The utilization of Nerf in UAV applications not only enhances our spatial understanding of the environment but also holds promise for their implementation within mapping, navigation, and disaster response.
This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts to share their insights, methodologies, and advancements in the domain of Nerf-based UAV 3D reconstruction. By fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas, we aspire to push the boundaries of this burgeoning field and pave the way for innovative applications that harness the synergy between Nerf and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
