Advanced Remote Sensing Technologies and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

With the increase and progressive development of remote sensing satellites and airborne sensors, it has become possible to acquire different types of data, enabling us to analyze the characteristics of the Earth’s surface and distinguish geological formations and units. The combined use of advanced technologies, such as deep learning, which was inspired by brain neural science, can enable the automatic learning of high-level semantic features from remote sensing images, offering a more refined level of accuracy than earlier remote sensing technologies. Based on this background, this Special Issue addresses hyper-spectral/multi-spectral image classification, unmixing, image fusion and sharpening, artificial intelligence and machine learning, lithological mapping, and other geological applications related to remote sensing.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
