Geospatial Foundation Model in Urban Environments: Challenges and New Technologies (Second Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

As Guest Editor, I am delighted to announce the second Special Issue of Remote Sensing to be released under the title “Geospatial Foundation Model in Urban Environments: Challenges and New Technologies”. We invite you to contribute with state-of-the-art research papers on urban environments, urban dynamics, urban public health, urban human mobility, urban spatial networks, urban socioeconomic sustainability, and urban crime with modern machine learning theories and technology.

Innovative contributions on employing CNN, the transformer model, GNN, and the foundation model to support the SDGs of urban environments are welcome, as well as papers on the combined use of remote sensing and human trajectory data to discover hidden human behavior patterns. Also, we look forward to the presentation of your research results on innovative applications and progress on the topic of urban and carbon neutrality employing remote sensing and artificial intelligence.

Review papers and articles describing new measurement concepts/sensors are also welcome.

Dr. Haifeng Li
Guest Editor
