Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Coastal Environment Monitoring Based on Remote Sensing and Artificial Intelligence is a critical scientific topic. Coastlines worldwide are threatened by increases in the sea level, as well as other man-made and natural processes. The advent of modern high-resolution satellite imagery and artificial intelligence aims to improve coastal zone monitoring and management.

This Special Issue will provide a forum for discussion on the latest means of monitoring coasts using remote sensing and artificial intelligence. Potential topics include (but are not limited to): Satellite imagery for coastal mapping, LiDAR for coastal mapping, artificial intelligence for coastal mapping, GoogleEarth and coastal mapping, sea-level rise measurements obtained via remote sensing, drones and coastal mapping, coral reef mapping, and coastal erosion assessment.

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.

This study introduces a new software, cLASpy_T, that helps design models for the automatic 3D point cloud classification of coastal environments. This software is based on machine learning algorithms from the scikit-learn library and can classify point clouds derived from LiDAR or photogrammetry. Input data can be imported via CSV or LAS files, providing a 3D point cloud, enhanced with geometric features or spectral information, such as colors from orthophotos or hyperspectral data. cLASpy_T lets the user run three supervised machine learning algorithms from the scikit-learn API to build automatic classification models: RandomForestClassifier, GradientBoostingClassifier and MLPClassifier. This work presents the general method for classification model design using cLASpy_T and the software’s complete workflow with an example of photogrammetry point cloud classification. Four photogrammetric models of a coastal dike were acquired on four different dates, in 2021. The aim is to classify each point according to whether it belongs to the ‘sand’ class of the beach, the ‘rock’ class of the riprap, or the ‘block’ class of the concrete blocks. This case study highlights the importance of adjusting algorithm parameters, selecting features, and the large number of tests necessary to design a classification model that can be generalized and used in production.
