Advanced Sensors and Signal Processing of Sensor Data: Recent Advances and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the Sensors journal entitled “Advanced Sensors and Signal Processing of Sensor Data: Recent Advances and Applications” will focus on all aspects of research and development related to these areas. Modern sensor systems use a wide range of techniques to pull the desired signals out of noise and interference. Advanced signal processing methods are slowly spreading to almost every area of research, and this trend tends to accelerate even more, since it is mainly influenced by practical implementations of mentioned algorithms. To develop new signal processing methods, it is necessary to fully cover the theoretical and practical background of both existing and currently explored solutions (e.g., adaptive filtration, hybrid algorithms).

The application of these new methods to smart sensing technologies and/or sensor data signal processing is not thoroughly explored, and there are significant gaps to fill with the help of newly developed technologies.

We invite submissions on a wide range of smart sensing research and signal processing of sensor data, including but not limited to:

• Fiber-optic and acoustic sensors in the field of civil engineering;
• Biomedical sensors data processing (ECG, PCG, SCG, BCG, etc.);
• Fiber-optic and acoustic sensors in the field of road and rail traffic;
• Intelligent sensor systems for Industry 4.0 and SMART technologies;
• Fiber-optic and acoustic sensors in the field of seismicity of drilling and blasting operations;
• Temperature measurement based on optical methods;
• Visible light communication—transmitters and receivers (channel equalization);
• Fiber-optics and acoustic sensors in biomedical engineering (measurements in magnetic resonance);
• Sensor-based signal processing in energetics;
• Sensory systems for SMART cities.

Original papers that describe new research or innovative approaches are welcome. We look forward to your participation in this Special Issue.

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.
