Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool for addressing complex challenges in geodesy, the science of measuring and understanding the Earth’s size, shape, gravitational field, changes over time, and other geophysical phenomena. By leveraging a diversity of AI methods and algorithms (ANNs, CNNs, SVM, RF, DT, KNN, ARIMA, GANs, XGBoost, cluster algorithms, ML, DL, and others), geodetic problems can be solved more efficiently and with greater precision. AI methods are becoming increasingly important for solving complex problems related to increasing volumes of multi-sensor data from satellite, ground, and airborne measurements and observations to estimate various geodetic parameters. AI's potential to analyze large datasets, particularly useful in automating real-time data analysis, enabling better prediction and modeling, which is essential for various applications such as forecasting, anomaly detection, and pattern recognition. Using AI in geodesy offers opportunities to test new methodologies and techniques that complement and extend existing methods and approaches. The scalability of AI to analyze large datasets, automate processes, and identify patterns that traditional methods may overlook complements and enhances existing surveying research, driving both progress and new insights.
The Special Issue is to present the latest advances in using artificial intelligence methods to solve complex geodetic problems, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI for integrating multiple geodetic data sources;
- Geodetic data processing and analysis using AI;
- Geospatial data interpretation, modeling, and prediction;
- AI for error detection and calibration;
- AI and GNSS observation analyses;
- AI methods and algorithms for time series analysis;
- AI for geoid modeling;
- AI applications for real-time monitoring;
- AI for geohazard assessment and prediction;
- AI for climate change monitoring;
- AI supporting interdisciplinary research.

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. AI is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
