Sensors for Cultural Heritage Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Methods of measurement, diagnostics and the monitoring of cultural heritage objects are becoming more and more necessary. The data obtained is used to make the right decisions related to conservation interventions and daily treatment. The diversification of materials and surface characteristics means that there is a need for the continuous development of new measurement methods and their application in sensors. It is also often necessary to use several measurement methods to obtain the full information about the object. In the case of repeated measurements, the development of a spatial data integration solution is required, as well as a quantitative and qualitative analysis over time. An important aspect is also the visualization of results presenting key information in a readable way for the inexperienced user. Modern sensors for cultural heritage integrate physical measurement methods and advanced data processing algorithms.

Submitted papers can address the development of single or multimodal measurement techniques, the analysis of data from sensors, aspects of diagnostics and the monitoring of specific objects or groups of objects. We especially encourage submissions that include demonstrations of actual applications in the field or prototypes that resemble a realistic scenario.

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.
