Advances in Localization and Navigation

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, the globalized world counts on localized data and location-aware services in a broad list of domains. People use their mobile devices for navigation in day-to-day professional and leisure time activities, companies automate their production or distribution, (unmanned) vehicles autonomously carry out given tasks separately or even cooperatively, and practically everything can be tracked during its movement. Seamless solutions for outdoor and also indoor mapping and navigation are being driven based on diverse technologies and their fusions. Experts in geoinformatics, electronics, and other fields meet in multidisciplinary teams to address new challenges.

This Special Issue, which stems from the conference “GIS Ostrava 2021: Advances in Localization and Navigation”, welcome submissions on methodological or applied aspects focused on (but not limited to) following topics:

• localization via wireless networks
• satellite positioning and navigation
• vision based localization and navigation
• inertial localization and navigation
• fusion of sensors and technologies
• autonomous operation of vehicles and robots
• simultaneous navigation and mapping (SLAM)
• cooperative localization and navigation, intelligent transportation
• artificial intelligence in localization and navigation
• indoor navigation
• pedestrian navigation
• location-based services
• high-definition maps
• standards and interoperability
• algorithms and software development

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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-blind 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.
