This special issue belongs to the section “Remote Sensors“.
Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the Editorial Board of Sensors, it is my honor to inform you about our upcoming Special Issue on Sensors for Aerial Unmanned System. Join us in our efforts to extend and share the latest advancements in sensors for UAVs and acknowledge us if you can submit a manuscript by the end of July or let us know about your feasible time to make the submission. I look forward to your favorable response.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Sensors for drones and balloons navigation
- Sensors and control for UAV formation flight
- Vision systems and RGB-D sensors for navigation
- Optical sensors for remote sensing including aerial-based measurement for cultural heritage, aerial-based measurement for precision farming, aerial-based measurement for geology
- Aerial systems and sensors for light pollution measurement
- Aerial systems and sensors for air pollution measurement
- UAV application in civil engineering and oil and gas industry
- UAV application for planetary exploration
- Sensors for human–UAV interaction
- Machine learning in UAV sensing
- Sensors and algorithms for a safe landing
- Active safety devices for UAVs ( parachutes and commanded wings)

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.
