Advances in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imaging and Signal Processing Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) stands as a pivotal sensor within the earth observation systems, continually driving advancements in remote sensing technology. It plays a critical role across numerous fields, including environmental monitoring, resource exploration, disaster assessment, and security surveillance. In recent years, the ongoing evolution of SAR imaging technologies has presented new opportunities and challenges in the domain of signal and image processing. To further unlock the potential of SAR data and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of information extraction, this Special Issue aims to collate the latest research findings from scholars on cutting-edge progress in SAR signal and image processing.

This Special Issue will focus on innovations and breakthroughs in SAR signal and image processing methodologies. Specifically, it includes (but is not limited to) novel imaging modes, advanced signal processing methods, intelligent image interpretation approaches, and their innovative applications across diverse sectors.

Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel SAR 2D/3D/4D Imaging;
• SAR System and Waveform Design;
• Polarimetric SAR and application;
• Image classification and target detection/recognition methods for SAR;
• SAR Image Quality Enhancement and Evaluation;
• Multi-Dimensional SAR Data Processing;
• Interferometric/tomography SAR technique and application in 3D mapping;
• Fusion and Interpretation of SAR Data with Other Remote Sensing Data;
• Other related topics.

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.
