Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Satellite images provide an accurate depiction of the earth and its environment in real time. The large constellation of remote sensing satellites orbiting the earth provides comprehensive and periodic coverage of the earth, enabling myriad uses for the benefit of mankind, including crop mapping and monitoring, land cover/land use mapping, change detection, and disaster management. Due to this, nowadays, satellite image processing represents an important area of research due to its wide range of applications.

For now, many methods and algorithms exist, and many can be developed to properly enhance and extract information from satellite images in different ranges of frequencies, recorded at different scales. The objective of the present Special Issue is to cover the relevant topics, trends, and best practices regarding algorithms, models, analysis, and applications of satellite images for remote sensing. We welcome topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Satellite image processing;
  • Image analysis;
  • Image matching;
  • Deep learning;
  • Change detection and multi-temporal analysis;
  • Data fusion and integration of multi-sensor data;
  • Image segmentation and classification algorithms.

Atmospheric refraction is one of the most significant factors that affect the geolocation accuracy of high-resolution remote sensing images. However, most of the current atmospheric refraction correction methods based on empirical data neglect the spatiotemporal variation of pressure, temperature, and humidity of the atmosphere, inevitably resulting in poor geometric positioning accuracy. Therefore, in terms of the problems mentioned above, this study proposed a spatiotemporal atmospheric refraction correction method (SARCM) based on global measured data to avoid the uncertainty of traditional empirical models. Initially, the atmosphere was stratified into 42 layers according to their pressure property, and each layer was divided into 1,042,560 grid cells with intervals of 0.25 longitude and 0.25 latitude. Then, the atmospheric refractive index of each grid in the imaging region was accurately calculated using the high-precision Ciddor formula, and the result was interpolated using three splines. Subsequently, according to the rigorous geometric positioning model, the line-of-sight of each pixel and the viewing zenith angle outside the atmosphere in WGS84 were derived to provide input for atmospheric refraction correction. Finally, the coordinates of the ground control points were corrected with the calculated atmospheric refractive index and Snell’s law. The experimental results showed that the proposed SARCM could effectively improve the positioning accuracy of the image with a large viewing zenith angle, and especially, the improvement percentage for a viewing zenith angle of 34.2426° in the x-direction was 99.5%. Moreover, the atmospheric refraction correction result of the SARCM was better than that of the primary state-of-the-art methods. Full article
