Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is one of the most-used tools since it allows all-day and almost all-weather observations with a moderate-to-fine spatial resolution. At its current stage, SAR has the capability to provide very high-resolution images and multi-dimensional (such as multi-channel, multi-aspect, multi-frequency, multi-polarization, multi-temporal, etc.) data, enhancing the spatial-time details of the observations. With the development of machine learning and deep learning methods, the ability to detect and identify target types from SAR data has been greatly improved. However, there is still room to improve both models and methods. The goal of this special issue is to gather high-quality and original contributions that reach beyond the conventional ideas and approaches, and the topics of interest include, but not limited to:
- Time-sensitivity target detection and identification;
- Terrain classification and applications;
- Change detection for classifying man-made targets and nature targets;
- Synergies between satellite sensors with airborne platforms and multiple satellite SAR;
- The use of multi-dimensional information to interpret and quantitatively evaluate the target recognition capability;
- Use of machine learning and the build-up of annotated training databases;
- Artificial Intelligence for SAR image processing.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
