Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has emerged as a powerful tool for optical data collection, enabling high-resolution spectral analysis across a range of diverse applications. This Special Issue will explore recent advancements in HSI technology, data processing techniques, and deployment within real-world applications.
Whilst HSI can be used within a plethora of applications for high-resolution optical data collection, this Special Issue will focus upon its use within environmental monitoring applications. Example applications may include air pollutants, soil and agriculture, biodiversity and ecosystem health, climate change research, and glacial and cryosphere studies. However, this list of applications is open-ended, as long as submissions fall within the theme of environmental monitoring.
We welcome contributions on novel HSI designs, improvements in spatial and spectral resolution, and deployment within environmental monitoring applications. Research on the integration of HSI with machine learning and AI for hyperspectral data analysis, as well as fundamental laboratory-based measurements, is also encouraged.
By bringing together cutting-edge research and practical applications, this Special Issue aims to advance the field of HSI and its role in tackling the many environmental challenges we are facing in our modern world. Researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers are invited to contribute their insights and innovations.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
