Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing image processing plays a pivotal role in transforming raw Earth observation data into actionable geospatial intelligence. With the rapid proliferation of satellite platforms, UAV systems, and ground-based sensors, the volume, variety, and velocity of remotely sensed data have grown exponentially. Effective processing techniques are therefore essential to extract meaningful information, reduce noise, align multi-source data, and enable accurate interpretation in both scientific and operational contexts.
This Special Issue is dedicated exclusively to high-quality review papers that provide in-depth surveys of remote sensing processing techniques. The goal is to offer a clear and structured overview of the State of the Art, including the comparative evaluation of algorithms, methodological taxonomies, technological developments, and application-driven innovations. Such reviews will serve as essential references for both new researchers entering the field and established scholars aiming to identify gaps and future research directions.

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.
