Advances in Remote Sensing of Hyperspectral Image Processing and Radiative Transfer Modeling

Dear Colleagues,

Hyperspectral image (HSI) processing is one of the cutting-edge fields in remote sensing (RS), with many applications in precision agriculture, Earth observation, environmental monitoring, resource exploration and many more. As the demand for robust and precise HSI processing tools and techniques has been increasing in recent years, a wide number of studies have introduced machine learning (ML) techniques alongside chemometrics and pre-processing techniques, multivariate statistical data analysis tools and radiative transfer modeling to improve HSI quality and advance feature extraction and classification for both in-lab and/or field applications.

This Special Issue aims to compile studies covering different aspects of HSI processing algorithms and workflows that can enhance the spatial and/or spectral information contained across the HSI, and hence studies discussion pre-processing, calibration (geometric and/or radiometric) and radiative transfer modeling techniques are welcome. Newly proposed object/pattern recognition and classification algorithms, along with advanced ML and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches, can also be hosted in this Special Issue.

Articles may address, but are not limited to, the following HSI-related topics:

• Precision agriculture
• Earth observation
• Environmental monitoring
• Resource exploration
• Data fusion
• Drone photogrammetry
• Soil research
• Water research

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
