Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the exploding growth of multi-source/multi-temporal/multi-scale remote sensing data, frequently delivered by remote sensors, it is becoming more and more critical to reveal efficient and effective representation learning methodologies for massive remote sensing analytics. Although many promising achievements of representation learning are reported for signal processing applications, it is still a great challenge to develop distinctive representation learning algorithms for remote sensing analytics.
This Special Issue aims to demonstrate the contribution of representation learning algorithms to the research of remote sensing analytics. It is not difficult to enumerate many examples in this area. For instance, unsupervised learning has been widely-applied for remote sensing image segmentation; semi-supervised learning algorithms significantly boost the performance of multispectral image classification; and deep learning methods obtain state-of-the-art results in many remote sensing applications including geo-localization, semantic labeling, target detection in satellite imagery.
The editors expect to collect a set of recent advances in the related topics, to provide a platform for researchers to exchange their innovative ideas on representation learning solutions for remote sensing analytics, and to bring in interesting utilizations of learning algorithms for particular remote sensing applications.
To summarize, this Special Issue welcomes a broad range of submissions that report novel representation learning techniques for remote sensing analytics. We are especially interested in 1) theoretical advances as well as algorithm developments in representation learning for specific remote sensing analytics problems, 2) reports of practical applications and system innovations in remote sensing analytics, and 3) novel data sets as test bed for new developments, preferably with implemented standard benchmarks. The following list contains topics of interest (but is not limited to them):
- Multiview learning for multi-spectral remote sensing image analysis
- Feature extraction/learning for remote sensing images
- Representation learning for hyperspectral image analysis
- Metric learning for remote sensing image classification
- Deep learning algorithms for remote sensing
- Benchmark algorithms and databases for remote sensing
- Other applications of representation learning for remote sensing
