Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few years, emerging technologies have generated significant interests in the management of civil infrastructures. Advanced Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAV) and laser scanning technologies have become appealing alternatives to labour-intensive, expensive and traditional inspection and maintenance methods, and the increased use of these methods is encouraged for bridge infrastructure asset management, especially bridge health monitoring.
This Special Issue invites contributions demonstrating innovative developments in applying remote sensing technologies to bridge health monitoring, as well as case studies highlighting the various applications of remote sensing technologies in 3D modelling, assessment and management of bridges in different phases of fabrication, construction, operation and maintenance.
The potential topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following remote sensing applications:
- 3D model reconstruction process of bridges using UAV photogrammetry and TLS.
- Quality inspection of bridge elements.
- Computer vision and image analysis.
- Advanced structural health monitoring (SHM)
- Development of bridge information model (BrIM).
- Decision making and process tracking with UAVs in bridge infrastructure tasks.
- Bridge Management System (BMS).
- Bridges Condition Assessment.
- Artificial intelligent (AI).
- Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).

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.
