Information Fusion Based on GIS

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the amount of data and information with reference to geographic location has increased drastically. Especially with the availability of open source software and free data, the integration of multiple sources of information has become an important issue.

The Special Issue aims at promoting new and innovative studies, experiences, and models to improve the quality of information derived from many different sources.

Accurate and up-to-date information on our environment are crucial to a sustainable living on the Earth. Climate change, environmental processes, natural resource management, urban development, and other important research themes require temporal monitoring and accurate information. The information originates from different dates, different data sources, different interpretations, and different analysis methods. Therefore, the unification and intelligent combination of geo-located information plays a pivotal role for decision-makers, planners, and citizens.

This Special Issue intends to provide an overview of current research and state-of-the-art processing of information in the context of geographic information systems (GIS). Big data aspects as well as multimodal data acquisition and integration, data and information fusion approaches, and the quality and quantity of topics are some of the possible themes to be covered in this Issue. Authors are welcome to submit manuscripts covering, for example, the following topics in the context of GIS:

- Data integration;
- Multimodal information sources;
- Remote sensing data and information fusion;
- Object-oriented analysis of remote sensing data for GIS-ready information;
- Information management in a GIS;
- Information actuality;
- Information quality;
- Human-oriented geographic information presentation;
- Big data;
- Information semantics;
- Information analysis.

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. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information 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 1900 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.
