SECOND: Sparsely Embedded Convolutional Detection

Yan Yan, Yuxing Mao, Bo Li · 6 Oct 2018

LiDAR-based or RGB-D-based object detection is used in numerous applications, ranging from autonomous driving to robot vision. Voxel-based 3D convolutional networks have been used for some time to enhance the retention of information when processing point cloud LiDAR data. However, problems remain, including a slow inference speed and low orientation estimation performance. We therefore investigate…

Machine Learning in Agriculture: A Review

Κωνσταντίνος Λιάκος, Patrizia Busato, Dimitrios Moshou et al. · 14 Aug 2018

Machine learning has emerged with big data technologies and high-performance computing to create new opportunities for data intensive science in the multi-disciplinary agri-technologies domain. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of research dedicated to applications of machine learning in agricultural production systems. The works analyzed were categorized in (a) crop management, including applications…

Metal Oxide Gas Sensors: Sensitivity and Influencing Factors

Cheng‐Xiang Wang, Longwei Yin, Luyuan Zhang et al. · 15 Mar 2010

Conductometric semiconducting metal oxide gas sensors have been widely used and investigated in the detection of gases. Investigations have indicated that the gas sensing process is strongly related to surface reactions, so one of the important parameters of gas sensors, the sensitivity of the metal oxide based materials, will change with the factors influencing the…

Deep Convolutional and LSTM Recurrent Neural Networks for Multimodal Wearable Activity Recognition

Francisco Ordóñez, Daniel Roggen · 18 Jan 2016

Human activity recognition (HAR) tasks have traditionally been solved using engineered features obtained by heuristic processes. Current research suggests that deep convolutional neural networks are suited to automate feature extraction from raw sensor inputs. However, human activities are made of complex sequences of motor movements, and capturing this temporal dynamics is fundamental for successful HAR.…

Electrochemical Biosensors - Sensor Principles and Architectures

Dorothee Grieshaber, Robert MacKenzie, János Vörös et al. · 7 Mar 2008

Quantification of biological or biochemical processes are of utmost importance for medical, biological and biotechnological applications. However, converting the biological information to an easily processed electronic signal is challenging due to the complexity of connecting an electronic device directly to a biological environment. Electrochemical biosensors provide an attractive means to analyze the content of a…

Sensors template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Sensors format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Sensors template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Sensors use?
Sensors uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Sensors 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Sensors?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Sensors document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Sensors template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Sensors format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Sensors?
Sensors - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Sensors PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Sensors template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Sensors template cost?
You can start writing in the Sensors template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Sensors PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
