Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent sensing technologies are transforming agriculture into a data-driven industry, and artificial intelligence is an important part of precision agriculture. Applying artificial intelligence and intelligent sensing technologies can significantly enhance productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. The temporal, spatial, and individual information related to the growing environment of crops and crop characteristics are gathered through various intelligent sensing technologies. Artificial intelligence algorithms, including deep learning, image processing, and multimodal fusion, are then applied to process or combine and analyze data from various sources to achieve agricultural intelligent production and management, such as with precision irrigation, crop monitoring, fertilizer inputs, etc..
This Special Issue seeks to present the most recent research on artificial intelligence or intelligent sensing technologies in regard to precision agriculture. Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality research papers on intelligent agricultural sensors, information fusion technology, crop recognition, disease and pest detection, autonomous navigation technology, growth state recognition, agricultural robots (weeding, planting, fertilization, etc.), and other related topics.

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-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.
