Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Terrestrial laser scanning is gaining more and more attention in many areas of engineering. Modern laser scanners are capable to collect huge amounts of information in a very short time. Applications of laser scanning is not limited to information about the geometry of a scanned object—it also gives a lot of information about physical parameters of a scanned surface. Analysis of an intensity parameter, full waveform, RGB or fusion with another techniques allows for remote sensing of a scanned object in terms of its physical properties.
Saturation of building materials is a very important issue in building maintenance. Application of terrestrial laser scanning for remote detection of saturation is a very promising tool which allows for quick, non-invasive and inexpensive acquisition of information and decision making.
The aim of this Special Issue is to attract researchers in the area of terrestrial laser scanning to the problem of the remote detection of building material saturation, in order to highlight the latest achievements in this field, including the newest technology and equipment, underlying physical phenomena, data processing and analysis. The accepted contributions will include theoretical considerations, experimental verifications, and proof-of-concept applications.

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.
