Innovative and Advanced Applications of Hyperspectral Imaging Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Hyperspectral imaging has become a huge topic and one of most promising techniques in remote sensing with a number of applications in very varied areas of research. Macroscopic hyperspectral imaging was mostly implemented by satellites and airplanes, but with today’s development of cheaper drones, hyperspectral measurement increases the possibilities of use to unimaginable limits (agronomy, forestry, geology, archeology, hydrology, ecology). On the other hand, with the rapid development of hyperspectral sensors and illumination sources, laboratory and field hyperspectral imaging provide many new applications (industry, engineering, archeology, medicine). The rapid growth of this field has made it difficult for many researchers to keep up with the development and advancement of its technology, including data handling, analysis, and presentation. Thus, this Special Issue aims to address the current status of technology and application in any of the above mentioned areas of use of hyperspectral measurements and remote sensing methods. Papers exploring the innovative possibilities of using hyperspectral sensors and ways of processing and obtaining results from them for different areas of human activity are invited.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
