SAR in New Era: Models, Methods, and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has been widely used for remote sensing for more than 30 years. It provides high-resolution, day-and-night and weather-independent images. The applications range from climate research, environmental monitoring, mapping, change detection, security-related applications and planetary exploration. Today, more than 15 spaceborne SAR systems are being operated for many applications. Many others are in designing and development. An exciting new era is opening up.

We would like to invite you to submit articles about your recent research with respect to the following topics.

• SAR Systems and Sensors
• Spaceborne SAR Systems and Missions
• Airborne SAR Systems and Missions
• Ground-Based SAR
• SAR System Simulation and Modeling
• Bistatic configurations
• Next Generation SAR Systems and Missions
• B5 Calibration and Verification
• SAR Processing
• SAR Image Generation, Motion Compensation, and Geocoding
• Image Filtering, Correction, and Enhancement
• Segmentation, Feature Extraction, Analysis, and Classification
• Compressive Sensing, Multi-Aperture, and other advanced processing techniques
• Interferometry (Cross-Track, Along-Track, Differential, Permanent Scatterers)
• Tomography, and 4-D SAR
• Digital Beamforming and MIMO
• Interferometry and Polarimetric Interferometry
• Topography
• Surveillance, Security, and Disaster
• SAR Applications: Land Use and Land Cover, Urban Areas, Soil and Vegetation, Maritime and Ocean, Snow, Ice, and Glacier

Review articles covering one or more of these topics are also welcome.

Authors are required to check and follow the specific Instructions to Authors, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing/instructions.

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 2700 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.
