Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of signal processing is closely intertwined with the advancement of remote sensing. The continual evolution of signal processing techniques provides essential tools for the processing and interpretation of remote sensing data, while the development of remote sensing technology offers rich data sources and practical application scenarios for signal processing. With the progress of remote sensing technology, the volume and variety of data acquired have steadily increased. The development of signal processing techniques provides robust tools and methods for handling these diverse data, including image processing, time-series analysis, feature extraction, pattern recognition, and more. Thus, the development of signal processing and remote sensing mutually reinforce each other, collectively driving the widespread application of remote sensing technology in fields such as earth science, environmental monitoring, and resource management.

This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and innovative applications of signal processing theory and methods in remote sensing. We invite contributions focusing on innovative signal processing techniques for the enhancement, analysis, and interpretation of remote sensing data across different domains. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Feature extraction for remote sensing;
  • Time-series analysis for remote sensing observations;
  • Fusion techniques for multi-source remote sensing data;
  • Real-time signal processing for remote sensing;
  • Large-scale image processing for remote sensing;
  • Compressed sensing for remote sensing;
  • Deep learning approaches for remote sensing;
  • Signal processing platforms for remote sensing;
  • Signal processing in remote sensing applications.

Significant progress has been achieved in the field of oriented object detection (OOD) in recent years. Compared to natural images, objects in remote sensing images exhibit characteristics of dense arrangement and arbitrary orientation while also containing a large amount of background information. Feature extraction in OOD becomes more challenging due to the diversity of object orientations. In this paper, we propose a semantic-driven rotational feature enhancement method, termed SREDet, to fully leverage the joint semantic and spatial information of oriented objects in the remote sensing images. We first construct a multi-rotation feature pyramid network (MRFPN), which leverages a fusion of multi-angle and multiscale feature maps to enhance the capability to extract features from different orientations. Then, considering feature confusion and contamination caused by the dense arrangement of objects and background interference, we present a semantic-driven feature enhancement module (SFEM), which decouples features in the spatial domain to separately enhance the features of objects and weaken those of backgrounds. Furthermore, we introduce an error source evaluation metric for rotated object detection to further analyze detection errors and indicate the effectiveness of our method. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our SREDet method achieves superior performance on two commonly used remote sensing object detection datasets (i.e., DOTA and HRSC2016). Full article
