Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synthetic aperture radar (SAR), an active microwave sensor, is featured by all-day, all-weather, and long-distance observation capabilities. In recent years, it has achieved rapid progress in system design, signal processing, and information acquisition, and played significant roles in civil (e.g., topography, geology, and disaster monitoring) and military applications (e.g., battlefield reconnaissance and tactical assessment).
Currently, SAR is developing towards diversified platforms, comprehensive imaging modes, and advanced working systems, producing massive SAR images constantly. Although the performance of image formation and information acquisition can be boosted by advanced signal and image processing theories, we still face challenges concerning: 1) interference/noise mitigation and target enhancement in complex observation environments; 2) feature extraction and fusion of multi-domain, multi-source, and multi-scale SAR data; 3) accurate classification with unbalanced or scarce samples; 4) designing integrated image processing and interpretation architectures.
This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers to discuss the above significant challenges. Authors are encouraged to submit their latest research progress regarding new theories and technologies in SAR image processing and interpretation, as well as new applications in a wider range of fields covering a variety of SAR platforms, such as satellites, aircraft, and UAVs. We welcome topics including, but not limited to:
- SAR image processing, including image formation, image denoising/interference mitigation, image enhancement, etc.
- SAR image interpretation, including SAR image segmentation, feature extraction and fusion, SAR target detection and classification, change detection, etc.
- Advanced SAR processing techniques, including few-shot and zero-shot recognition, incremental learning in an open environment, lightweight/physical interpretable deep neural networks, integrated imaging and detection/classification networks, etc.
- New SAR image data sets.

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.
