Real-Time Agricultural Monitoring from Remotely Sensed Data (Second Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Remote sensing data have been successfully used to investigate various agricultural activities, such as crop type mapping, crop phenology detection, soil moisture assessment, and crop growth monitoring. From a practical point of view, agricultural management requires timely and accurate crop and soil information provided by remote sensing data in real-time. Real-time agricultural monitoring is still impeded by limitations in remote sensing data quality, monitoring algorithms, and computing platforms.

In this context, a Special Issue entitled “Real-Time Agricultural Monitoring from Remotely Sensed Data” is being planned in the journal Remote Sensing. We welcome all research or review articles on agricultural monitoring as long as they focus on work carried out during the crop-growing season. In addition, methodology papers on processing within-season remote sensing data (e.g., time-series data) are also welcome. This Special Issue has a broad range of topics, including crop monitoring (e.g., crop type classification, crop phenology detection, crop phenotyping, crop yield prediction) and agricultural condition investigations (e.g., agricultural drought, biotic/abiotic stresses). It should be noted that remotely sensed data from satellites, drones, or field instruments should be among the main data sources.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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.
