Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of geospatial information system (GIS), remote sensing (RS), and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) research, new theories, methods and applications have emerged, such as the concept of real-time GIS (RT-GIS), three-dimensional GIS (3D-GIS), indoor localization and mapping, machine-learning-enabled imagery interpretation and enhancement, advanced GNSS signal processing techniques, anti-jamming and anti-spoofing techniques, positioning and navigation with low-Earth-orbit satellites and cellular networks’ comprehensive positioning navigation and timing (PNT)-related techniques, etc. In addition, many new inter-disciplinary research topics have become popular, such as vision-based navigation, ground control point (GCP)-free photogrammetry, synthetic aperture radar satellite formation flying, satellite-image-based disaster monitoring systems, and resource management. The fusion of RS, GIS and GNSS techniques has also fostered many new applications, which help acquire spatial information faster and easier and manage spatial information more efficiently.

The scope of this Special Issue includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:

  • Satellite image processing theory and methods;
  • SAR image data process and applications;
  • LiDAR segmentation and cloud point process methods;
  • GCP-free photogrammetry methods;
  • Novel indoor localization method;
  • Real-time GIS relative topics;
  • 3D-GIS and future GIS techniques;
  • Monitoring of coastal ecology and human activities based on 3S technology;
  • Advanced GNSS signal processing and new GNSS positioning theory;
  • GNSS meteorology-related topics;
  • Multi-GNSS biases and geophysics inversion;
  • Time and frequency transfer-related topics;
  • Comprehensive PNT techniques;
  • The fusion of GIS, RS and GNSS techniques and the applications to environmental change detection, disaster resilience planning, monitoring land use and land cover changes, smart cities, etc.

This paper presents an innovative integrated sensor that combines GNSS and a low-cost accelerometer for bridge health monitoring. GNSS and accelerometers are both significant and effective sensors for structural monitoring, but they each have limitations. The sampling rate of GNSS data is relatively low, making it challenging to capture high-frequency vibrations, while accelerometers struggle with low-frequency signals and are susceptible to environmental changes. Additionally, GNSS receivers and accelerometers are often installed separately, leading to challenges in data fusion processing due to differing temporal and geospatial references. The proposed integrated sensor addresses these issues by synchronizing GNSS and an accelerometer’s time and geospatial coordinate reference. This allows for a more accurate and reliable deformation and vibration measurement for bridge monitoring. The performance of the new sensor was assessed using a high-quality/cost Leica GM30 GNSS receiver and a Sherborne A545 accelerometer. Experiments conducted on the Wilford suspension bridge demonstrate the effectiveness of this innovative integrated sensor in measuring deformation and vibration for bridge health monitoring. The limitation of the low-cost MEMS (Micro Electromechanical System) accelerometer for the weak motion frequency detection is also pointed out. Full article
