Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensors and sensing technologies are a thriving area of research, especially in the context of activity and motion detection and recognition. This not only encompasses human activities but also the behavior of animals and object tracking. In fact, advancements and the emergence of next-generation sensing and sensor technologies enable the monitoring of motion not only in close and open spaces but also over both short and extended periods of time. Versatility and ubiquity represent emerging trends in sensing and sensor technologies. In tandem with the raw data generated by hardware technology, post-processing through dedicated algorithms not only facilitates detection but also recognition. Furthermore, machine learning techniques, including supervised and unsupervised methods, offer a variety of approaches. Both time and memory cost calculation of algorithms are as important as the accuracy and precision of the motion detection and recognition to evaluate the portability or the efficiency of the software solution.
The objective of this Special Issue is to present the current state of the art in Sensors and Sensing Technologies for Activity and Motion Detection and Recognition. Therefore, we will showcase various applications and innovative approaches in both hardware and software domains.

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.
