Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human activity recognition (HAR) is a research topic that has achieved significant progress recently, attracting growing attention in a number of disciplines and application domains. However, whether it is video-based or sensor-based, data-driven or knowledge-driven, HAR still faces many issues and challenges that motivate the development of new activity recognition techniques to improve accuracy under more realistic conditions. Key challenges in the domain include, among others, difficulty in feature extraction, data annotation scarcity, data heterogeneity, recognition of concurrent, overlapped and multi-occupant activities, increased computational costs, temporal imperfections, noise, context-based and high-level interpretability, and non-invasive activity sensing and privacy.
This Special Issue focuses on the current state of the art in HAR approaches, with a special emphasis on multi-sensor environments, where information is typically collected from multiple sources and complementary modalities, such as from multimedia streams (e.g., using video analysis and speech recognition), lifestyle, and environmental sensors. The main objective is to stimulate original, unpublished research addressing the challenges above through the concurrent use of multiple sensors and innovative fusion schemes, frameworks, algorithms, and platforms. Surveys are very welcomed, too.
Authors are invited to submit original contributions or survey papers for publication in the open access Sensors journal. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Modeling and analysis of multi-sensors for human activity recognition;
- Knowledge-driven multi-sensor fusion frameworks for human activity recognition;
- Data-driven and machine-learning-driven multi-sensor fusion frameworks for human activity recognition;
- Distributed sensor networks and IoT for human activity recognition;
- Interoperability frameworks and semantic situational awareness for high-level human activity recognition and decision making;
- Multi-sensor human activity recognition under uncertainty, noise, and incomplete data;
- Multi-sensor human activity recognition in healthcare;
- Multi-sensor human activity recognition in security and surveillance applications;
- Multi-sensor human activity recognition in ambient assisted living;
- Multi-sensor human activity recognition to assist human–computer interaction;
- Multi-sensor human activity recognition in augmented/virtual reality applications;
- Security and privacy issues in multi-sensor human activity recognition.

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.
