Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, many efforts have been directed in three different intertwined directions, namely the use of instrumental, algorithmic, and interpretation methods for the development of 3D planetary mapping data. For the development of remote sensing instruments oriented to photogrammetry, three cases can be highlighted: one in course, one near to its first light, and the third in the design phase. This is the case of CaSSIS of the TGO mission (which is target-oriented and has provided local DTMs of limited regions of Mars science 2016), the suit SIMBIO-SYS onboard the BepiColombo mission (which has as its first goal the Global Digital Terran Model of the entire surface of the planet Mercury), and the DAEDALUS-CAM (panoramic camera for the exploration of the Moon’s subsurface selected by its Open Space Innovation Platform in the SysNova Lunar Caves system studies framework).
On the other hand, the photogrammetric community is evolving pipelines and tools for the 3D reconstruction of planetary data. This research covers different branches of instruments and different kinds of approaches which span from the area-based approach to the Adversarial Generative Network Designed for Depth Estimation.
The result of this research is a strong increase in the production of science linked to the interpretation of remote sensing data by often merging a different data fusion source as 3D data with other different kinds of products.
This Special Issue invites the community to present updates on or recaps of the instruments designed or already working oriented to photogrammetry, research oriented to improvements in depth estimation or 3D reconstruction, and the novel use of scientific analysis based on the use of 3D data delivered by planetary 3D mapping.

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.
