Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) are an indispensable positioning and navigation technology that is extensively utilized across various sectors, including aerospace, autonomous driving, intelligent transportation, and geological exploration. However, GNSSs’ positioning accuracy, availability, continuity, and reliability can significantly deteriorate in complex environments such as urban canyons and tunnels. The limitations of standalone GNSSs can be significantly alleviated by integrating alternative sensors due to recent advancements in Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), visual sensors, radar, ultrasonic sensors, etc. Incorporating a variety of multi-source sensors into GNSSs has therefore become a standard practice in various fields, fully leveraging the strengths of diverse systems to address the shortcomings of individual sensors and providing improved positioning solutions with high accuracy, availability, continuity, and reliability in various complex environments.
This Special Issue aims to gather and highlight the latest research advancements in GNSSs and multi-sensor fusion technologies for precise positioning and applications. This Special Issue emphasizes the design and optimization of various fusion algorithms, assesses their effectiveness in challenging environments, and advocates for the practical applications of GNSSs and multi-sensor integration technologies.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following research areas:
- Methods and algorithms for GNSSs and multi-sensor integration.
- Multi-sensor-assisted GNSS cycle slip detection and ambiguity resolution.
- Positioning recovery techniques in the absence of GNSSs.
- Applications of deep learning in GNSSs and multi-sensor integrated systems.
- Cooperative positioning and path planning of the integrated systems.
- Precise positioning strategies for integrated systems in challenging environments.
- Hardware platform and data processing architecture for integrated systems.
- Applications and achievements of integrated systems in autonomous driving, intelligent transportation, and robot navigation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
