Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The development and commercialization of truly wearable or portable smart sensing systems for obstacle detection, environment perception, and motion capture takes advantage of the progress and development in micro- and nano-electronics, of the miniaturization, integration, and stringent power management of integrated systems, of cost drop, and of the progress in embedded multisensory data fusion and analysis technique.
Various application fields can be addressed, ranging from activity monitoring and fitness tracking, to rehabilitation, but also performance analysis, fall detection, obstacle detection for visually impaired and blind people or in reduced visibility conditions. These systems can even address other niche markets, such as small-size lightweight drones that require environment perception and reliably pose estimates to navigate safely in their environment.
This Special Issue will deal with the latest developments and innovative solutions in the field of smart portable/wearable systems for obstacle detection, environment perception, and motion capture. Both research papers and review articles will be considered. Submissions that cover several aspects of the topic (e.g., sensor technologies and embedded intelligence) will be greatly appreciated. Validation of the smart system in (nearly) real conditions will be a plus.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
