Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Changes in the global environment, especially climate change, have caused changes in the population and habitat of wild animals, as well as conflicts between wild animals and humans. The relevant problems relate to rare species, overpopulated species, species which directly harms humans, alien species, and so on. ’Animal Remote Sensing', through which extensive examination is possible without directly affecting the target species, is an indispensable technology for monitoring changes in the population and habitat of wild animals and for the coexistence of wild animals and humans.
Platforms include artificial satellites, aircraft, drones, and ground-based sensor cameras. Image sensors include not only RGB but also thermal infrared, multispectral and hyperspectral. Moreover, the small sattelite consteration and the fusion of LiDAR and these sensors are also being considered. Deep learning methods are increasing in viability and popularity as analysis methods, in addition to general image processing methods.
Although targets of this Special Issue are assessments of climate change effects on animals using remote sensing, this Special Issue also welcomes algorithms, techniques, and experimental research articles on the following topics, although progress reports on relevant research issues are also acceptable.
- Development of animal detection or animal trace detection methods;
- Animal population or habitat estimation using remote sensing data;
- Animal population or habitat change prediction using remote sensing data;
- New technologies for animal remote sensing;
- New analysis methods for animal remote sensing;
- Building useful open datasets for animal 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 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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
