Multi-temporal Synthetic Aperture Radar

Dear Colleagues,

Satellite technologies have widely demonstrated their effectiveness in continuous environmental monitoring and territorial planning and management. Today, the remote sensing community is experiencing an unprecedented abundance of data which is boosting the development of more and more applications for temporal analysis of our rapidly changing planet. This is true especially concerning SAR data, which, under the aegis of the Copernicus Programme of the European Space Agency, are distributed for the first time free of charge to any kind of user.

However, this huge availability of data is posing new problems to the SAR scientific community. Visualization, change-detection, clustering, and labelling of long time-series in a big-data scenario is still an open problem, as well as their exploitation in combination with other sensory data in a multi-frequency environment.

The objective of this Special Issue is to delineate the state-of the-art in SAR time-series data processing methodologies and to facilitate the exploitation of this technology in the industrial sector through the development of new applications in the downstream sector.

Contributions are expected on (but not limited to) the following topics:

• Multi-temporal SAR data analytics
• Visualization of time-series data
• Multi-sensor and multi-frequency data fusion
• Integration of SAR data with other remote sensing products
• SAR data exploitation and information retrieval for land, ocean, urban areas and forestry applications

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.
