Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of sensor technologies and image processing algorithms has unlocked unprecedented opportunities across multiple domains—from environmental monitoring and remote sensing to intelligent transportation and healthcare systems. This Special Issue invites high-quality contributions exploring novel applications, methodologies, and integrations of image processing techniques and sensor systems.
We especially welcome papers focusing on the synergistic use of satellite- and ground-based sensor data, machine learning, and GIS technologies to tackle real-world challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, object detection and tracking, SAR and InSAR-based deformation analysis, sensor data fusion, 3D modeling, and applications of AI in sensor networks.
As a Guest Editor and a Professor of data and business analytics with a background in geospatial technologies, I aim to highlight interdisciplinary research bridging the fields of image processing, data analytics, and sensor integration. We encourage submissions from academic researchers, industry practitioners, and interdisciplinary teams that push the boundaries of how sensor data are collected, analyzed, and applied in dynamic environments.
Topics of interest that would be suitable for inclusion in this Special Issue include the following:
- Remote sensing and Earth observation;
- SAR and InSAR for deformation monitoring;
- Sensor fusion and multimodal data integration;
- Computer vision in industrial and smart systems;
- AI and machine learning in image processing;
- Geospatial intelligence and GIS-based image analysis;
- Medical and biomedical imaging systems;
- Autonomous systems and smart surveillance.

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. Electronics 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.
