Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the previous Special Issue "Vision- and Sensor-Based Sensing in Human Activity Recognition" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/Human_Activity), we are pleased to announce the next in the series, entitled "Vision- and Sensor-Based Sensing in Human Activity Recognition—Second Edition".
The goal of this Special Issue is to help to overcome the gap between human activity recognition and its involvement in the development of many important applications, including human–computer interaction (HCI), virtual reality, security, the internet of things (IoT), and healthcare facilities.
Over the past few decades, video- or sensor-based sensing for human activity recognition has received tremendous attention from the research community due to its wide range of applications and the recent advancement of computational performance, camera and sensor technology, and algorithms of machine learning and deep learning.
In this Special Issue on vision- and sensor-based sensing in human activity recognition, we are aiming to publish novel and technically sound research articles that demonstrate theoretical and practical contributions to computer vision, machine learning, AI, sensing, and medical and social issues.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Human activity recognition from camera, video, and other relevant sensor data
Non-touch and touch interfaces using human activity
Deep learning approach for human activity recognition
Handwriting activity analysis and recognition
Medical diagnosis and recognition using human activity
Biosignal processing for human activity recognition
Healthcare application using human activity
Virtual reality, augmented reality, and other applications using human activity
Human activity analysis and recognition for social issues
Large datasets on human activity recognition
Current state-of-the-art and future trends of human activity recognition

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.
