Advances in Radar Imaging with Deep Learning Algorithms

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, an unprecedented amount of data has been gathered by the radar remote sensing community, which is boosting the development of an increasing number of applications in many areas from remote sensing of terrain and sea to medical imaging. It is worth noting that the high efficacy of radar imaging approaches is key to the development of advanced data processing strategies that are able to perform the detection and tracking of targets in some scenarios. For example, target detection using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars has recently gained popularity in radar research  Moreover, a set of new analytical tools has been proposed and applied to convolutional neural network (CNN) handling automatic target recognition on SAR datasets.

In this Special Issue, we intend to compile a series of papers that merge the analysis and use of radar images with AI techniques. We expect new research that will address practical problems in radar image applications with the help of advanced AI methods.

Articles may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Advanced AI-based target detection/recognition/tracking;
• Radar image intelligent processing;
• AI-based SAR imaging algorithm updating;
• Combination of advanced signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques;
• New datasets for remote sensing image classification with deep learning;
• New radar systems, such as MIMO radars, distributed radars, dual multi-base radars, and so on.

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.
