Recent Advances in Underwater Signal Processing II

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the previous Special Issue “Recent Advances in Underwater Signal Processing” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/raudsp_sensors), we are pleased to announce the next in the series, entitled “Recent Advances in Underwater Signal Processing II”.

In total, 71% of the Earth is covered by ocean, which plays an important role in human life (ecological regulation, living resources, mineral resources, etc.). Underwater equipment, including sonar and radar, can help us to better understand the ocean. Using these technologies, topography, underwater communication, target detection, localization, imaging, and ocean monitoring can be easily carried out. Signal processing and electronics techniques have achieved significant progress in recent years. Thanks to these developments, the novel theories, mechanisms, and processing techniques of underwater equipment have also been pushed into a new stage.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advancements, developments, and applications in underwater signal processing methodologies, including characterization, simulation, real data processing, as well as applications to underwater engineering. In general, any contributions related to underwater signal processing or ocean signal processing will be considered.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Underwater communication;
• Underwater network;
• Underwater detection;
• Underwater navigation;
• Underwater noise modeling;
• Underwater mapping and localization;
• Underwater vehicle technology;
• Sonar signal processing;
• Ocean monitoring;
• Ocean remote sensing techniques;
• Marine environment assessment;
• Air–sea interactions.

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.
