Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of advanced sensors and imaging techniques has led to an exponential growth in the volume of high-resolution remote sensing images. The rich information contained in these images has made them indispensable in domains such as urban planning, precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and disaster risk reduction. However, to fully harness their potential, there is a critical need for efficient and robust image processing and analysis techniques.
As remote sensing data continue to grow in complexity and scale, the development of innovative methods for image classification, segmentation, and change detection becomes essential. These advances will not only enhance decision-making processes but also support the sustainable management of resources, climate monitoring, and rapid response to natural disasters. The integration of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics is increasingly shaping the landscape of remote sensing research and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest developments and innovations in the field of high-resolution satellite or aerial images, covering a broad spectrum of topics on deep learning-based image processing and analysis methods. The contributions will focus on advanced classification, detection, and fusion techniques that enable precise scene-level, object-level, and pixel-level land surface understanding. The integration of recent deep learning techniques, for example, large pre-trained multi-modality models and earth observation tasks, such as land cover classification, change detection, and object detection, will be a key highlight, showcasing how these techniques are revolutionizing the analysis of high-resolution remote sensing images in the realm of geosciences. Furthermore, the Issue will also explore novel applications demonstrating the practical impact of recent advances in high-resolution image analysis, underscoring the transformative potential of these technologies in addressing real-world challenges.
The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Large multi-modality models for earth observation tasks;
- generalizable deep learning methods for high-resolution image classification, object detection, and change detection;
- the transfer of computer vision models for robust high-resolution image interpretation;
- efficient deep learning architectures for large-scale high-resolution image analysis;
- semi-supervised and unsupervised methods for image segmentation and change detection;
- multi-source remote sensing image fusion and image registration methods;
- remote sensing foundation models and their applications;
- large vision language models for the understanding of remote sensing images;
- large-scale high-resolution remote sensing image datasets;
- generative models in remote sensing;
- remote sensing image super-resolution;
- image denoising;
- explainable AI in remote sensing.
