Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are launching the third Special Issue of Remote Sensing to be released under the title “Remote Sensing of Target Object Detection and Identification”.
The ability to detect and identify target objects from remote images and acquisitions is paramount in remote sensing systems to enable a proper analysis of the territories. The field of the appliance of such a technology spans environmental and urban monitoring, hazard and disaster management, and defense and military applications. The existing literature has taken advantage of the large amounts of data acquired by sensors mounted on satellite, airborne, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms. Such works exploit different phenomena and technologies that include synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, and images (or videos) acquired in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) wavelength range. With recent improvements in sensing technologies regarding their spatial resolution and spectral content, and with the rapid development of artificial intelligence techniques that exploit convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or deep neural networks (DNNs), the results that novel approaches will achieve in the near future are promising.
This Special Issue aims to collect contributions in the abovementioned fields, including papers on theoretical/methodological and technological applications. It invites topics associated with (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Target object detection and identification for urban and infrastructure monitoring;
- Target object detection and identification for agricultural monitoring;
- Target object detection, tracking, and identification for security and military applications;
- Target object detection, tracking, and identification for the environmental monitoring of the sea;
- Optical, infrared, and multispectral datasets for target object detection and identification;
- Multi-sensor (spatio-temporal, spatio-spectral, and multimodal) data fusion for target object detection and identification;
- Methods, algorithms, and theoretical models for target object detection, tracking, and identification;
- Machine learning and deep learning approaches for target object detection, tracking, and identification.
This Special Issue also welcomes novel developments regarding sensing elements and apparatus to remotely detect, track and identify objects.

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.
