Innovative Application of AI in Remote Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Satellites have been flying around the Earth for decades now to scan landscapes and capture images in this ever-changing planet. Remote sensing is not a new element of the art and science of observing things from afar, but recent innovations with the application of artificial intelligence are very powerful and can potentially contribute a lot in society. At present, we are at a pivotal stage of a radical transformation regarding where information comes from and how it is analyzed and monetized. The application of artificial intelligence to remote sensing is the best and highest-quality technology in the classification of satellite global imagery that can help in overcoming the planets’ greatest challenges. Advantages in using clear and reliable satellite imagery include providing a wide image of the entire planet that can be used in helping society to predict climate change, prevent wars, stop forest fires, as well as solving the biggest questions and finding solutions in high resolution. Reducing costs is possible by replacing or optimizing the existing monitoring systems with the application of artificial intelligence in remote sensing.

This Special Issue aims to help to unlock the ability of satellite data using artificial intelligence in remote sensing. It will provide ideas about developing models that extract features, detecting changes and predicting physical situations using artificial intelligence.

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.
