Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of remote sensing technology is widespread in our world because it is one of the most effective methods with which to observe the earth. There are a variety of remote sensing platforms, e.g., ground, aerial, and space ones, that carry optical, infrared, radar, and lidar sensors. The processing methods and practical applications of data obtained from remote sensing have received increasing interest from the remote sensing community. The abundance of remote sensing data also presents new opportunities and challenges for researchers. Remote sensing data fusion from multiple sensors has greatly benefited many applications that require more extensive temporal, spatial, or spectral information than any individual sensor can provide.

This Special Issue derives its title from the 9th Youth Geosciences Forum, held on 5–8 May 2025 (http://www.qndxlt.com/index.html). This Special Issue aims to present the most recent research and developments on remote sensing data fusion from sensors at different spatial and temporal resolutions. Topics include, but are not limited to, novel image fusion algorithms based on transform domain, machine learning, and other theoretical approaches. Applications in earth observation are also welcome.

Near-global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) products generated through space-based radar techniques have become a basic data source for a variety range of applications. However, these DEM products often contain typical errors such as vegetation bias and topography-related errors, which impede their practical utility. Despite the development of numerous correction methods based on mathematical fitting and artificial neural networks over recent decades, reliably correcting large-scale spaceborne radar-derived DEMs remains an open challenge due to issues like underfitting or overfitting. This paper introduces a novel framework called Feature-Reinforced Ensemble Learning (FREEL) designed specifically for correcting space-based radar-derived DEMs. Within this FREEL framework, a feature derivation module and a feature reinforcement module are integrated to enhance the original input features. Subsequently, an adaptive weighting variant of the DeepForest algorithm is proposed to emphasize critical features and improve training robustness, even with limited training data. The Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) DEMs of Hunan Province, China, characterized by diverse surface terrain and vegetation coverage, were selected to evaluate the FREEL framework. The results indicate that the accuracy of the SRTM DEM corrected using the FREEL framework improved by 40%, surpassing several mathematical fitting and machine learning baseline algorithms by an average of 45% and 23%, respectively. This method provides a more robust solution for correcting near-global space-based radar-derived DEM products. Full article
