Advanced Array Signal Processing for Target Imaging and Detection

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, considerable progress has been made in the theory and methodology of array signal processing for airborne, ground, marine, and underwater target detection and imaging. However, further development faces increasing challenges regarding improving target illumination performance due to the influences of clutter, interference, and noise. It is valuable to attain a comprehensive understanding of current array signal processing theory and approaches for detecting various targets in the air, on the land, in the sea, and under water, and thus to solve future problems exerted by the new application requirements.

This Special Issue will collect and promote advanced array signal processing methods for target detection, imaging, and recognition using radar and sonar in a wide range of complex adverse environments with strong background noise/jamming. The Special Issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following aspects:

• State-of-the-art array signal processing of radar and sonar;
• Waveform/frequency diversity;
• Artificial intelligence for aerial/underwater target characterization, analysis, and recognition under various interference, clutter, and noise conditions;
• Novel modelling and analysis methods for complex target detection and imaging;
• Methods and approaches for the optimization of target detection and imaging;
• Practical validation notes and technical reviews of the related topics.

For this Special Issue, we welcome manuscripts on active and passive microwave/acoustic remote sensing, signal and image processing methods, and experimental applications of remote sensing.

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
