Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decade, deep learning has drawn significant attention thanks to its robustness and potential in generalization and learning capabilities. Several applications have been tested and successfully deployed, exploring the majority of real-world tasks with the aim of improving their performances. Among others, pose estimation and human action recognition have benefitted from the exceptional results achieved in the deep learning field, although still showing wide margins of improvement.
This Special Issue aims to gather a significant collection of original contributions to these topics. Accurate vehicle and human pose estimation is crucial for several applications, e.g., animal behavior research, gaming and virtual reality, medicine and biotechnology, pedestrian, aerial and maritime navigation, robotics, and human motion tracking. Furthermore, effective human pose and action recognition offers an important contribution in many fields, such as physical therapists’ diagnoses and patient rehabilitation, as well as security and surveillance or employee-free store development.
The relevant topics of this issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Single and multihuman pose estimation, action recognition, and tracking;
- Terrestrial, maritime, aerial robot pose estimation, and tracking;
- Literature reviews and surveys;
- Datasets and sensors;
- Interesting applications and ideas focusing on surveillance, autonomous navigation, human–robot interaction, healthcare, and sports, etc.

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.
