Inertial Sensors for Positioning and Navigation

Dear Colleagues,

Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) have become a key component of navigation and positioning systems for indoor and GNSS denied environments. Their uses range from high precision systems for aerospace or maritime applications, medium performance systems for land vehicles and indoor navigation, as well as the low performance consumer market for smart phones and games. The increasing spectrum of applications demanding a better balance between performance and cost, such as driverless vehicles, have encouraged innovations across INS hardware, error modeling, and fusion techniques.

This Special Issue aims to highlight these innovations and showcase the performance capabilities and emerging applications for INS. Topics include, but are not limited, to:

Accelerometers
High Performance Gyroscopes
MEMS Sensors
Advanced Sensor Characterization Techniques
Sensor Error Modeling and Online Calibration
Advanced Test and Evaluation
Sensor Fusion
Algorithms and Methods
Wearable sensors
Innovative applications

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.
