Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce that we are currently assembling a dedicated Featured Papers collection for the " Feature Papers in Radar and LiDAR Sensors 2026" Special Issue of Sensors. This curated collection will feature high-quality manuscripts submitted exclusively by members of our Section Editorial Board and distinguished scholars with outstanding achievements in radar and LiDAR sensing research.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances in Radar and LiDAR sensor technology, along with their emerging applications across diverse fields. Coverage includes, but is not limited to, research on advanced Radar and LiDAR technologies; novel signal processing mechanisms and theories; detection, classification and recognition of targets of interest in Radar/LiDAR imagery; and target information acquisition and mining from corresponding image data.
Contributions are welcome (but are not limited to) addressing the following topics:
- Advanced Radar and LiDAR technologies;
- Advanced Radar and LiDAR signal processing mechanism and theory;
- Synthetic Aperture Radar techniques;
- Active and passive Radar techniques;
- Advanced Radar and LiDAR algorithm in target detection, classification, identification, and recognition;
- Typical radar and Lidar applications;
- Multi-source data fusion techniques;
- Artificial intelligence in Radar and LiDAR applications.
