Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Advanced in Remote Sensing Approaches for Agricultural Monitoring at Field and Regional Scale", provides a vital scientific background, underscoring the paramount importance of this research area. In the ever-evolving landscape of agriculture, the integration of cutting-edge technologies is crucial for enhancing precision and sustainability. Remote sensing emerges as a linchpin in this direction, acting as a transformative tool that enables a comprehensive understanding of agricultural systems.
The precision agriculture paradigm, incorporating techniques such as photogrammetry, UAVs, and artificial intelligence, aligns seamlessly with the capabilities of remote sensing technologies. Satellite-, drone-, and field instrument-derived data play a pivotal role in unraveling the complexities of agricultural monitoring, providing invaluable insights into yield variations, crop health, and overall ecosystem dynamics.
This Special Issue will explore in depth how remote sensing acts as a catalyst for innovation in the agricultural domain. By establishing the synergy between the chosen thematic focus and the capabilities of remote sensing, this Special Issue will propel advancements that contribute to the evolution of sustainable and ecologically conscious agricultural practices at both the field and regional scales.
Incorporating innovative techniques into remote sensing use and knowledge of agriculture at the local level, with new sensors that make remote sensing behave as a source of temporal data and learning in monitoring systems using artificial intelligence, makes it necessary to exchange all types of experience with the different sensors installed on any type of platform and, thus, advance ecological and sustainable agriculture.
This Special Issue, titled "Advanced in Remote Sensing Approaches for Agricultural Monitoring at Field and Regional Scale", is currently at the planning stage, and it will be published in Remote Sensing. We invite research or review articles related to agricultural monitoring, with a specific emphasis on ecological and sustainable farming practices. Contributions should prominently feature remotely sensed data derived from satellites, drones, or field instruments as primary data sources. Researchers and experts in the field are encouraged to contribute their insights and findings to enhance our understanding of the application of remote sensing in agriculture. Your valuable submissions will help us to comprehensively explore cutting-edge techniques and methodologies in the realm of agricultural monitoring.
