Advances in Optical Remote Sensing Image Processing and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Global observations from satellite remote sensing span multiple decades and also multiple spectral ranges (visible, near-infrared, thermal, etc.), spawning many potential remote sensing image processing technologies and applications. Particularly, in recent years, hyperspectral images and multisource data have provided new insight and capabilities for observing urban/natural environments, monitoring climate change, and investigating human behavior. In this Special Issue on “Advances in Optical Remote Sensing Image Processing and Applications”, we invite papers involving one or more of the following topical areas, focusing on imaging technology, data analysis, and practical application of optical remote sensing:

• Remote sensing imaging spectroscopy and systems;
• Data analysis (land-use classification, pan-sharpening, multitemporal data fusion, change detection, anomaly detection, etc.);
• Optical remote sensing applications (road/building/river detection, wildland fire detection, forest environmental monitoring, climate observation, real-time processing, low-power computer vision, etc.);
• Deep learning methods covering one or more of these topics;
• Review articles covering one or more of these topics.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
