Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of multi-sensor technology is to combine information from more than one sensor to improve the system accuracy, leading to more specific inferences than using just a single sensor. It has become an indispensable tool for information processing in numerous fields such as target tracking, positioning, navigation, control, attitude estimation, wireless networks, and so on. With the development of information sciences and sensor technology, multi-sensor technology has received greater attention for practical applications in recent years.
This Special Issue aims to bring together original research and review articles on recent advances, solutions, applications, and new challenges for multi-sensor technology in the fields of target tracking, positioning, and navigation.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multi-sensor technology for target tracking applications;
- Multi-sensor technology for positioning and navigation applications;
- Artificial intelligence-based multi-sensor technology;
- Multi-sensor technology theory;
- Multi-sensor-based SLAM;
- Multi-sensor-based route planning;
- Recent development of multi-sensor technology;
- Multi-sensor-based navigation and control;
- Multi-sensor technology for wireless network localization.

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.
