Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of the previous Special Issue, “Advanced Signal and Image Processing Techniques for Sensor Applications”, we are pleased to announce the next Issue in the series, entitled “Advanced Signal and Image Processing Techniques for Sensor Applications—2nd Edition”.
With the rapid advancement of sensor technology, vast and continuously growing volumes of data across diverse domains and modalities have become readily available. However, the direct presentation of raw sensor data is sometimes inappropriate due to the presence of noise, distortion, and other artifacts. To extract relevant and meaningful information from sensor data, further enhancement of acquired signals—such as noise reduction in one-dimensional electroencephalographic (EEG) signals or color correction in endoscopic images—together with their analysis using computer-based medical systems, is required. Data processing and the subsequent extraction of useful information therefore play a central role and are key themes of this Special Issue.
This Special Issue of Sensors aims to highlight advances in the development, testing and application of signal and image processing algorithms and techniques for a wide range of sensors and sensing methodologies. Experimental and theoretical contributions, as well as original research articles and review papers, are welcome.
Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced sensor characterization techniques;
- Ambient assisted living;
- Biomedical signal and image analysis;
- Signal and image processing (e.g., deblurring, denoising, super-resolution);
- Signal and image understanding (e.g., object detection and recognition, action recognition, semantic segmentation, novel feature extraction);
- Internet of Things (IoT);
- Machine learning (e.g., deep learning) in signal and image processing;
- Radar signal processing;
- Real-time signal and image processing algorithms and architectures (e.g., FPGA, DSP, GPU);
- Remote sensing processing;
- Sensor data fusion and integration;
- Sensor error modelling and online calibration;
- Smart environments and smart cities;
- Wearable sensor signal processing and its applications;
- Self-supervised and/or foundation models for signal and image processing from sensor data;
- Multimodal sensor fusion and cross-domain representation learning using heterogeneous sensor data;
- Edge AI, TinyML, and energy-efficient signal and image processing for embedded and real-time sensing platforms.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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-anonymized 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.
