Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increase in earth-observing satellites, the volume of timely remote sensing data at large scales is rapidly growing. It is a challenge to mine the potential information in massive remote sensing data automatically and accurately. In the past few years, artificial intelligence technology, especially deep learning, has achieved great success in the automatic recognition, classification, and extraction of images and videos; it can fulfil the needs of remote sensing images. Although much architecture with an outstanding performance has been proposed in the last few years to address RS problems, there is much room for improvement.
This Special Issue aims to collect the latest developments and applications of both basic and applied research on deep learning applied in remote sensing, with particular attention to the structure and performance of deep learning models suited to remote sensing data, and the mining of potential natural rules in remote sensing data. Research can focus on, but is not limited to, landscape- or green-areas-related image fusion, image registration, scene classification, object detection, LULC classification, image segmentation, object-based image analysis (OBIA), and so on. The application research of artificial intelligence methods such as machine learning/deep learning and remote sensing technologies such as optical remote sensing, LiDAR, UAV, and InSAR are particularly welcome. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
