Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s information age, navigation data have become increasingly diverse. Effectively integrating navigation and positioning information to enhance accuracy is crucial in fields such as autonomous driving, the Internet of Things, and smart cities. This Special Issue aims to delve into the practical applications of multi-sensor fusion in navigation and positioning. We will explore the fundamental principles, emerging methods, and technological advancements in sensor fusion, along with its uses in the Internet of Things.
This Special Issue will focus on research related to sensor fusion in the fields of navigation and positioning, with an emphasis on the application of sensor fusion technology. Its key areas of study will include highly dynamic sensor fusion, real-time sensor fusion, heterogeneous sensor fusion, flexible sensor clustering, and related topics such as communication coding, direction-finding, and ranging.
These topics are extremely popular in integrated communication and navigation, the Internet of Things, smart cities, and related fields. As such, this Special Issue, Sensor Fusion in Positioning and Navigation, aims to report the latest advances in all topics related to sensor fusion-related navigation and positioning. We would like to invite all researchers in this field to contribute to this Special Issue.
