Sensor Techniques for Signal, Image and Video Processing

Dear Colleagues,

The development of sensor technologies is driven by the emergence of new challenges, such as autonomous driving, the Internet of Things, on-chip clinical analysis laboratories, and the need for localization and rescue in natural disasters, among many others.

Cars in the future will be equipped with a panoply of sensors dedicated to improving the comfort and security of passengers and other surrounding vehicles via point-to-point connections or cloud computing. Ubiquitous access to services relies heavily on advanced, increasingly sophisticated and self-controlled sensor technologies that make up a fundamental aspect of the Internet of Things and remote sensing. Currently, these technologies allow physicians in one continent to perform surgery in another continent. Miniaturized biosensors facilitate the existence of an entire clinical analysis laboratory on a chip, with less than 1 cm3 of volume. Unmanned aerial vehicles and satellites can photograph large areas in just a few minutes using radar or Lidar technologies, generating sequences of images, identifying moving targets, and summarizing videos so that rescue or assistance can be provided in a timely manner.   

This Special Issue welcomes submissions regarding, but not limited to,

• Car sensors such as inertial, Lidar, ultra-sound and radar;
• Image sensing for remote sensing and weather condition monitoring;
• Sensors for biomedical signal applications such as lab-on-a-chip;
• Optical image sensors;
• VLSI architectures for high-speed signal, image and video processing;
• Sensors for resources monitoring (e.g., water, electricity);
• Sensor networks (including IoT for video processing and related areas);
• Muti-sensor systems: signals, processing and interfaces;
• Sensing technologies for real-time radar and sonar processing and image formation;
• Sensors for image reconstruction, retrieval and modeling;
• Applications using new imaging sensor technologies (e.g., biomedical image and video processing, wearable sensors or array sensors, etc.).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
