Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the change in the natural environment and the effect of human activities, the Earth's surface changes all the time. Land use and land cover changes are the leading cause of environmental changes worldwide. In order to ensure the sustainable development of the environment and humans, monitoring changes with massive and multi-source remote sensing data has become an important application in the remote sensing field. Earth observation satellites collect hundreds of terabytes of remote sensing data each year. How to effectively process and analyze these data for the purpose of monitoring land changes is the issue that we want to address.
To this end, this Special Issue seeks papers presenting novel ideas, techniques and tools to improve remote sensing change detection. Potential topics for this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to the following:
- Multitemporal remote sensing image analysis;
- Land-cover/ Land-use change analysis;
- Building change identification;
- Scene-level classification and change analysis;
- Multi-source remote sensing data fusion for change detection;
- Urban change monitoring;
- Semantic change analysis;
- Geospatial databases for sustainable smart cities;
- Advanced algorithms for change detection based on machine learning/deep learning;
- Applications of remote sensing image change detection (vegetation change/coastline change/etc.) ;

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. Applied Sciences 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 2300 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.
