Novel Approaches to Sensor Technologies for Protecting Wildlife and Human Health

Dear Colleagues,

The limitation of human contributions to the production of goods and services has been, from the very beginning, the trigger of technological and scientific progress. Nowadays, modern automation and autonomization technologies allow for the substitution of humans in more and more advanced tasks, including problems where expert knowledge is required. Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, and other tools of Industry 4.0 contribute to the improvement of human quality of life without compromising sustainability. Therefore, the problem of how new technologies can help to protect wildlife and human health has become of great interest. Such life-related applications demand high reliability as well as precision and accuracy, which challenge engineering science.

This Special Issue of Sensors is committed to presenting advances in algorithms and sensor technologies dedicated to increasing wildlife safety and human health preservation. The monitoring of wildlife activity for new infrastructure, such as windfarms or airports, the limitation of birdstrikes and animal collisions with man-made structures as well as noninvasive health monitoring and diagnosing are examples of the potential applications of modern sensor technologies, which are included in this Special Issue’s scope. A particular emphasis is put on noninvasive measurements, wearable technologies, the Internet of Things, vision systems, lidars, radars as well as ultrasound sensing.

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.
