Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the second edition of this topic. You can view the original Special Issue here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/P00N2L5Z5Z. Color and spectral sensors are key technologys for color acquisition and reproduction in different applications, such as image visualization, cultural heritage, color recognition and inspection, medical diagnosis, and remote sensing. Color acquisition and reproduction issues are not comprehensively investigated and are challenging problems in developing a general color accuracy sensing system. Furthermore, test benchmark design, experimental guidelines, visual perception, and numerical analysis models for evaluating the performance of color and spectral sensors are also key to implementing accurate material-aware color. At the same time, new areas in the study of applied color and spectral sensors have emerged in just the past decade, examining the new advances in cameras, displays, smartphones, VR, AR, MR, and smart lighting.
Manuscripts should contain both theoretical and practical/experimental results. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: color sensors, spectral sensors, image sensors, hyper/multispectral imaging, imaging spectroscopy, color/spectral filter arrays, radiometric calibration, calibration site design, CCD/CMOS, spectral recovery, color perception, color appearance models, and image vision.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
