Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are launching our second Special Issue of Remote Sensing to be released under the title "Remote Sensing Target Recognition and Detection: Theory and Applications".
Target recognition and detection is a multidisciplinary field that involves a variety of sensors, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), side-scan sonars, multispectral/hyperspectral sensors, and others. Target recognition and detection is used to search regions of interest of specific targets in an image and determine the category and location of targets. It usually marks the image, selects the target area of interest in the image with a rectangular box, and finally creates a category label for the image target. As important steps of image processing and further analysis, improvement in target recognition and detection techniques is urgently needed to achieve higher performance in various tasks. Although deep learning has achieved unprecedented success in the field, there are still open application issues that must be comprehensively addressed.
This Special Issue aims to gather papers presenting recent advances in target recognition and detection with novel and impactful applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Machine learning for target recognition and detection;
- Theory of multi-objective/multi-task optimization and learning;
- Change detection and classification in remote sensing;
- Remote sensing/teaching image object detection, segmentation and categorization;
- Underwater target recognition and detection;
- Ocean acoustic remote sensing;
- Radar high-speed target detection, tracking, imaging and recognition;
- Computational electromagnetics and scattering measurement theory;
- Sensor signal detection, identification and categorization.
Research articles, review articles and short communications are welcome for submission.

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.
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.
