In recent years we have witnessed large technological requirements for land monitoring, which has provided humankind with a plethora of information about land cover/use, changes, and bio-geophysical parameters at different scales. In particular, the increase in the spectral resolution of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has opened doors to advanced remotely sensed earth observation means. Hyperspectral imaging allows us to characterize the land objects of interest (e.g., land-cover classes) with unprecedented accuracy and to keep land usage inventories up to date. Meanwhile, improvements in spectral resolution and data volume have posed new methodological challenges, calling for advances in data processing and exploitation algorithms.
The main focuses in this area—which have recently gained popularity, attracting the interest of multiple scientific disciplines—include hyperspectral imaging restoration/super-resolution, multi-source registration and fusion, information/feature extraction, pixel-level classification, object-level segmentation/recognition, change detection, high-resolution land mapping, etc.
Sophisticated hyperspectral imaging platforms and sensors are being launched to capture HSI data with higher spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. Corresponding data-processing packages and application products are also being released to facilitate the powerful abilities to conduct land-monitoring applications.
This Special Issue aims to review and synthesize the latest progress in land monitoring using hyperspectral imaging data for various application purposes. Prospective authors are invited to submit original manuscripts to this Special Issue of Remote Sensing.
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 October 2022.
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.
