Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synergistic use of multiple sensors by machines and systems has become essential towards achieving more complete, accurate, and efficient geospatial applications. For example, the fusion of optical cameras with LiDAR in airborne/terrestrial mapping systems and the integration of GNSS/MEMINS/magnetometer/camera sensors in low-cost smartphones, both open a new chapter in related fields. These unprecedented developments in the sensor arena require the definition of new models, algorithms, techniques and tools for multi-sensor data exploitation and system integration, as well as in the assessment and validation of existing methods.
The main purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a reference of both review and original research articles related to multi-sensor integration and fusion on the platforms ranging from satellite, airplane, UAV, terrestrial vehicles to handheld devices. This Special Issue examines the following (but not limited to) practical issues:
- Multi-sensor system design and on-board processing;
- Multi-platform sensing with land-, air-, and space-borne platforms;
- Data quality control/assurance and enhancement for multi-sensor multi-platform solutions;
- Ubiquitous sensing solutions with non-conventional low-cost sensors in mobile devices;
- Sensor integration and fusion for positioning and navigation (for indoor and outdoor);
In particular, studies based on optic cameras, LiDAR, SAR and navigation sensors are welcome.

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.
