Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in remote sensing technologies—in terms of a wider range of passive and active sensing modalities operating in different portions of the spectrum, improved georeferencing capabilities, and easier deployment of manned/unmanned airborne and terrestrial platforms—are providing the research community with unprecedented geospatial data characterized by high geometric, radiometric, spectral, and temporal resolution. This Special Issue aims at highlighting advances in sensing and georeferencing modalities onboard traditional and emerging platforms, as well as their impact on addressing the needs of traditional and new mapping applications. This Special Issue is also addressing innovative manipulation of remote sensing data (i.e., evolution from data, information, to knowledge). Contributions related to the following topics are encouraged:
- Improved georeferencing of mobile mapping technologies in GNSS-challenging environments (e.g., intermittent access and/or complete denial of GNSS signal);
- Image and LiDAR-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM);
- Integration of GNSS/INS, image, and LiDAR data for improved trajectory estimation of mobile mapping systems;
- Mobile mapping using multimodal sensing onboard unmanned aerial vehicles;
- Mobile mapping using multimodal sensing onboard unmanned ground vehicles;
- Structure from motion in challenging environments (object space with low texture and/or repetitive patterns);
- Manipulation of heterogeneous point cloud data (e.g., registration, segmentation, classification, object extraction);
- Integration/fusion of imaging and ranging remote sensing data for better representation of mapped environments;
- Calibration of GNSS/INS-assisted multisensor, multiplatform mapping systems;
- Quality control of mobile mapping products;
- Mobile mapping for traditional and emerging applications (e.g., digital agriculture, forest inventory, transportation management, infrastructure monitoring, environmental protection, archaeological documentation, indoor mapping);
- Simultaneous processing of multiscale, multitemporal, multimodal remote sensing data;
- Machine/transfer learning in aid of 3D mapping applications;
- Scalable implementation of swarms of mobile mapping platforms.

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.
