Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last few years have witnessed an increasing trend in wearable technologies for several applications. Most of the present wearable and intelligent devices are equipped with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, a powerful combination of wireless technologies (5G and WiFi connectivity), several biosensors (like ECG and blood oxygen sensors) and other motion sensors (like accelerometers and gyroscopes). The convergence of location, cloud data management and wireless communication technologies have created the rapidly emerging biomedical and location-based services (LBS) markets that are presently pushing for the development of intelligent multi-sensor systems for numerous health monitoring and positioning applications.
This Special Issue will propose and discuss the design of the new intelligent multi-sensor systems for wearable and smart devices for health monitoring, activity recognition and positioning applications. The Special Issue will present the state of the science for the most relevant problems in multi-sensor fusion and integration and search for novel efficient concepts, designs and simulation approaches in the positioning, navigation, and biomedical areas. The Special Issue will contribute to the signal processing of biomedical and navigation research in academic and industrial areas. We invite investigators to submit original research articles to this Special Issue.
Potential submission topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Multi-Sensor Systems and Integration;
- Adaptive and statistical signal processing;
- Nonlinear estimation for sensor fusion;
- GNSS/INS Simulation and Testing;
- Machine intelligence for navigation and biomedical;
- Innovative autonomous navigation approaches;
- IoT-enabling technologies, applications, services, and implementations;
- Cooperative navigation.
Submissions should be of high quality, suitable for an international journal, and should not have been submitted or published elsewhere. Finally, we welcome review papers that cover the subjects of this Special Issue.
