Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since 2019, China has adopted an open data policy for Gaofen (GF) satellites, which grants the global community free and open data access. As a first step, global data with 16-meter resolution from GF 1 and GF 6 satellites have been made publicly accessible. The released data are in the Level 1 processing stage, which means that end users will inevitably face different preprocessing steps for these data before they are able to explore domain application tasks. To improve the usability of the shared data for end users, Gaofen 16m Analysis Ready Data (ARD) is seriously needed in order to introduce a series of standard preprocessing procedures. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions related to Gaofen 16m ARD techniques, including, but not limited to:
- Geometric correction of Gaofen 16m data;
- Atmospheric correction of Gaofen 16m data;
- Cloud/Shadow/Water masking of Gaofen 16m data;
- Quality labeling of Gaofen 16m data;
- Combined use of Gaofen 16m ARD and other similar sensors (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel-2) and fusion approaches;
- Suitability of Gaofen 16m ARD for LCLU classification, change detection, and time series analysis.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
