Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of 3D optical measurement has witnessed significant advancements in recent years. These advancements have been driven by the increasing demand for high-precision, non-contact measurement techniques that can capture complex 3D shapes with accuracy and efficiency. One promising research direction is the development of advanced imaging technologies, such as structured light techniques, multi-camera systems, and laser scanning techniques. These technologies have greatly enhanced the measurement resolution and accuracy, and researchers are now exploring the use of advanced algorithms to further improve the imaging quality and processing speed. Additionally, there is a growing interest in integrating 3D optical measurement with other sensing modalities, such as thermal imaging, ultrasound, laser Doppler, and laser ranging, to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the objects being measured. This integration opens up new possibilities for applications in medical diagnostics, material characterization, and quality control. Overall, the future of 3D optical measurement holds great promise, with continued research in advanced imaging technologies, integration with other sensing modalities, and the development of portable devices expected to further enhance the capabilities and applications of 3D optical measurement systems.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research and developments in the field of 3D optical measurement and provide a platform for researchers to share their findings and insights. Theoretical, numerical, and experimental papers are welcomed. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced imaging technologies for 3D optical measurement;
- Integration of 3D optical measurement with other sensing modalities;
- Multi-camera systems and algorithms for improved measurement accuracy;
- Portable and handheld 3D optical measurement devices;
