Dear Colleagues,

Progress in imaging devices and means for image processing creates new conditions for retrieving information from images and image sequences. The possibility of acquiring and processing great amounts of time series data allows researchers to take a significant step from registration to intellectual monitoring and understanding various processes in environment, infrastructure, and human-related processes. The advances in these scientific areas will allow us to react timely to crucial changes to forecast their outcomes, and to take the necessary action to provide sustainable environmental health.

The idea to create this Special Issue was a result of discussions at the recent ISPRS workshop on “Photogrammetric and computer vision techniques for environmental and infrastructure monitoring, biometry and biomedicine – PSBB23”. It was devoted to new methods of image analysis focused on the understanding of various processes developing at the time.

This Special Issue addresses the methods, applications, and case studies of monitoring time-elongated processes, focusing on their analysis and understanding. We invite a wide range of researchers in the field of remote sensing data analysis to contribute to this Special Issue. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

• Image and image sequences analysis;
• Machine learning methods for image series analysis;
• Systems and applications of environmental monitoring;
• Change detection;
• Multi-modal and multi-scale data analysis;
• Image classification and scene classification for environmental and
  infrastructure monitoring;
• Methods for infrastructure monitoring;
• Medical image and image sequences analysis for study of humans;
• Methods for representing and visualizing time series data.

Original research on processing and analyzing spatial–temporal data are invited for publishing in the current Special Issue.

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. Journal of Imaging is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
