Advances in Radar Systems for Target Detection and Tracking (Second Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Radar systems allow the detection and tracking of targets of interest at any time and in all weathers and have been extensively applied in the remote-sensing community to applications such as geological exploration, disaster forecasting, traffic monitoring, urban planning, environmental sciences, hydrology, littoral zones, and oceans. Complicated target characteristics, complex environments, and refined processing requirements have presented great challenges in radar target detection, tracking, and recognition. Much work has been carried out with airborne, spaceborne, ground-based, and shore-based radar systems, and impressive progress has also been made in studying the methodology behind them. However, there is still a great deal of room for further research on radar target detection, tracking, and recognition. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the recent research progress in radar systems for target detection and tracking.

This Special Issue aims to collect and highlight outstanding contributions that cover “Advances in Radar Systems for Target Detection and Tracking”, that can include (but are not limited to) the following topics:

• Radar target detection, tracking, and imaging in ground/sea environments;
• Radar target detection, tracking, and imaging in interference situations;
• Joint radar sensor registration and target tracking in complex environments;
• Radar resource management for target detection and tracking in complex environments;
• Detection and tracking using SAR/InSAR images with applications in geology;
• Combination of advanced signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques;
• New radar systems, such as MIMO radar, distributed radar, dual multi-base radar, and so on;
• Short-range radars, especially in the context of consumer (indoor environments) and automotive applications;
• Deep learning-based target detection and tracking.

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.
