CHEOS (China High-resolution Earth Observation System) program was implemented from 2010, and this program comprises the elements of the space-borne system, the near-space system, aerial system, the ground system and application system as a whole to realize Earth Observation at high temporal, spatial and spectral resolutions. A series satellites (GaoFen-1, GaoFen-2, etc) of CHEOS were developed to realize breakthroughs focusing on high spatial resolution, high spectral resolution, high spatiotemporal resolution, optical remote sensing technique, and high-precision and high-stability attitude control technology.
With the successful delivery of high-quality satellite products, high-resolution data have been utilized in an increasing number of remote sensing applications for earth observation, and the applications are ranging from geology, hydrology, forest and agriculture, etc. Besides, multi-source collaborative observation with airborne platform, including RGB image, infrared image, terrestrial image, multispectral data, and hyperspectral data, etc, and has been widely used in land-cover classification, target detection, and recognition tasks. However, challenges remain for multi-source high-resolution remote sensing data processing, and their respective applications in remote sensing. The special issue aims to collect and highlight outstanding contributions in terms of multi-source data processing/interpretation technologies as well as their recent applications to relevant scenarios.
We invite you to submit the most recent advancements in (but not limited to) the following topics:
● Advanced multi-sensor data processing for radiometric and geometric calibration, registration, and quality assurance
● Multi-source data fusion and data representation, multi-view and stereo view 3D reconstruction based on satellite images
● Multi-source feature extraction, feature fusion, and feature interpretation.
● Supervised/weakly supervised and unsupervised classification using classical and deep learning methods based on multi-source collaboration
● Multi-source collaborative analysis with RGB image, infrared image, multispectral image, hyperspectral image, and LiDAR etc.
● Technique reviews on the related topics.
