Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the integration and processing of multimodal data—such as RGB, thermal infrared, depth, and LiDAR—for various visual tasks, including detection, classification, segmentation, and tracking. Multisensor imaging is becoming crucial for modern visual perception systems. By combining complementary sources such as RGB, thermal infrared, depth, LiDAR, and event-based sensors, researchers and engineers can significantly enhance the understanding of scenes in challenging real-world environments.
This Special Issue seeks to compile the latest advancements in image and video processing methods based on multisensor inputs. We encourage the submission of papers that address theoretical models, algorithmic strategies, system-level solutions, and real-world applications in multisensor visual analysis.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
--Multi-modal image and video fusion techniques;
--Object detection, recognition, and classification using multisensor data;
--Semantic and instance segmentation from heterogeneous inputs;
--Multimodal tracking and spatiotemporal analysis;
--Feature extraction and representation learning across sensor domains;
--Cross-modal alignment, transfer learning, and domain adaptation;
--Real-time perception systems and embedded vision with sensor fusion;
--Benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics for multisensor processing;
--Applications in autonomous driving, smart surveillance, robotics, healthcare, and the IoT.

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.
