Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photometric stereo is a well-known technique which estimates the normal surface of objects. Recent trends in 3D printers have widened the range of uses of commercial sensors that measure the 3D coordinates of object surfaces; however, commercial sensors which can measure the normal surface of an object using a photometric stereo are still rare. Photometric stereo is still a hot topic in this field, and various research papers are published on it each year. Recent techniques such as deep learning have also affected the progress of photometric stereo research. This Special Issue aims to collect a wide variety of photometric stereo works and helps the progress of this field.
The objective of this Special Issue is to provide opportunities to share new insights with researchers in various fields that will contribute to a future roadmap of photometric stereo. Papers must be original research with novel results or a suitable review of the current state of the art.

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. Journal of Imaging 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 1800 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.
