Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Geographic data analysis and modeling are becoming more important than ever to extract meaningful information or specific objects of interest from all types of remote sensing imagery. Geographic data analysis and modeling tools enable users to extract meaningful information, compute spatial metrics and statistics, or identify objects such as buildings, roads, coastlines, lakes, rivers, trees, power lines, and other features. Geographic data analysis and modeling techniques also assist with image preparation, database integration and data fusion.

The aim of this Special Issue is to assemble papers that explore spatial data analysis and modeling methods and approaches for remote sensing imagery processing, classification, analysis and inference across multiple disciplines, including, but not limited to, atmospheric and environmental sciences, ecology, earth sciences, health, energy, agriculture, hydrology, population, and socio-economic studies. The topics covered by this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • The latest developments of image classification methods
  • Machine learning or deep learning for spatial data analysis
  • Development of new spatial analysis algorithms for deriving information from imagery such as spatial patterns and landscape modelling
  • Application of geographic data analysis and modeling for change detection including spatial statistical significance of change and methods of measuring spatial and attribute accuracy
  • New tools and approaches for geographic data acquisition, integration or fusion such as innovative cyberinfrastructure, data mining, machine learning/deep learning techniques for data acquisition and fusion from multi-source remote sensing
  • Methods for deriving spatial objects/features including assessing object accuracy

This Special Issue seeks submissions on any topic that 1) applies geographic data analysis and modeling to data derived from remote sensing or 2) applies geographic data analysis and modeling in the processing of remote sensing imagery.

The Special Issue " Geographic Data Analysis and Modeling in Remote Sensing " is jointly organized between “Remote Sensing” and “Geomatics” journals. Contributors are required to check the website below and follow the specific instructions for authors: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing/instructions

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. Geomatics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.

This article demonstrated an easily applicable method for measuring the similarity between a pair of point patterns, which applies to spatial or temporal data sets. Such a measurement was performed using similarity-based pattern analysis as an alternative to conventional approaches, which typically utilize straightforward point-to-point matching. Using our approach, in each point data set, two geometric features (i.e., the distance and angle from the centroid) were calculated and represented as probability density functions (PDFs). The PDF similarity of each geometric feature was measured using nine metrics, with values ranging from zero (very contrasting) to one (exactly the same). The overall similarity was defined as the average of the distance and angle similarities. In terms of sensibility, the method was shown to be capable of measuring, at a human visual sensing level, two pairs of hypothetical patterns, presenting reasonable results. Meanwhile, in terms of the method′s sensitivity to both spatial and temporal displacements from the hypothetical origin, the method is also capable of consistently measuring the similarity of spatial and temporal patterns. The application of the method to assess both spatial and temporal pattern similarities between two deforestation data sets with different resolutions was also discussed. Full article
