Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of sensing technologies for precision measurements. We seek research articles and reviews that provide insight into sensing technologies for precision measurements. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Atomic, molecular, and optical physics;
  • Precision measurement physics;
  • Atomic frequency standards;
  • Magnetic resonance for materials and chemistry;
  • NMR spectroscopy in biological systems;
  • Magnetic resonance imaging;
  • Precision scientific instrumentation;
  • Geodesy;
  • Measurement and navigation research;
  • Precise gravimetry technology;
  • Seismology and physics in the Earth’s interior;
  • Exploration geophysics.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe a new approach to the continuous operation of a transverse spin-exchange optically pumped NMR gyroscope that utilizes modulation of both the applied bias field and the optical pumping. We demonstrate the simultaneous, continuous excitation of 131Xe and [...] Read more.
In this paper, we describe a new approach to the continuous operation of a transverse spin-exchange optically pumped NMR gyroscope that utilizes modulation of both the applied bias field and the optical pumping. We demonstrate the simultaneous, continuous excitation of 131Xe and 129Xe using this hybrid modulation approach and the real-time demodulation of the Xe precession using a custom least-squares fitting algorithm. We present rotation rate measurements with this device, with a common field suppression factor of ∼1400, an angle random walk of 21 μHz/Hz, and a bias instability of ∼480 nHz after ∼1000 s.

In this paper, a procedure for calibrating the image sensors of mobile devices and evaluating their results was developed and implemented in a software application. Regarding the calibration, two methods were used, an OpenCV function and a photogrammetry method, which used the same camera model. In evaluating the calibration results, a method is proposed that uses single-image rectification to examine the performance of the calibration parameters in a practical and supervisory way. After an experiment followed by a study, a standard is proposed regarding the number and shooting angles of the photographs that should be used in the calibration. During the development, problems related to processing large images and automating processes were solved. Finally, the procedure and software application were tested in a case study. Full article
