Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The volume of big data available via remote and citizen sensing has grown dramatically in recent years. These data sets available from disparate sources (e.g., satellite sensors, drones, aerial robotics, geotagged images from social media, GPS check-in records from vehicles, mobile phone records, etc.) provide unprecedented degrees of detail about regions, cities and human activities at varying spatial and temporal resolutions. The heterogenous structure of these data sets combined with their near real-time availability poses unique challenges and opportunities in integrating remotely sensed and socially sensed data for social science applications like characterizing human activity patterns and inferring urban land information.
Because of the availability of enormous volume of data, regional and urban analysis is focused on extracting information from these diverse data in a timely manner. Although existing urban and regional development theories are still used to generate information by fusing remotely and socially sensed data, new theoretical, technological and conceptual approaches and techniques need to be developed to address the challenges resulting from using the new generation of big data for urban analytics.
We solicit articles for a special issue in Remote Sensing that advance theories, methods, and/or applications to improve the integration of remote sensing and social sensing as well as to extract information from fused data to help with different urban applications. This special issue is scheduled to be published in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Geoinformatics (2019 CPGIS Annual Conference) in July 1-3, 2019, Sydney, Australia, and International Conference on Urban Computing and Smart Planning in September 27-29, 2019, Nanjing, China.

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 2500 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.
