Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inhabited by more than 55% of the Earth’s population, urban areas urgently need to address three main challenges: traffic mitigation, eco-system preservation and the prevention of global extreme natural events. Both for public health and for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, facing these challenges has become a necessity.
Remote sensing and photogrammetry techniques are of great interest for urban area analysis. Multispectral, hyperspectral, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), LiDAR, and photogrammetry data—either used alone or in combination—have shown their efficiency for urban studies. They are performed at a local scale (when using unmanned aerial vehicles), at a regional scale (when using airborne sensors) or at a global scale (when using satellites). Up-to-date machine learning and data mining advances offer promising results for extracting meaningful information from these big data.
This Special Issue aims to document the most recent advances in the two techniques of photogrammetry and remote sensing for urban environment studies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Comprehensive data constitution for socio-economic analysis and urban planning (urban region function recognition, building height assessment through photogrammetry, etc.);
- Addressing traffic issues and smart human mobility (bus management, delivery truck congestion mitigation, etc.);
- Mitigation of global extreme natural events impact (what-if scenarios, damage mapping and hurricane damage area prediction, river and sea floods, earthquakes, etc.);
- Urban ecology (urban heat islands, vegetation biomass monitoring, urban wildlife watching, etc.);
- Urban growth impact on landscapes (urban sprawl, deforestation, ground slope destabilization, etc.);
- Urban pollution monitoring at local, regional and global scale (urban air quality assessment, water quality assessment, soil contamination detection, anthropic activities mapping, etc.);
- Urban photogrammetry and remote sensing data processing and exploitation (data regularization, data mining, machine learning, etc.);
- Data fusion of urban heterogeneous data arising from photogrammetry, remote sensing, Internet of Things or any other method;
- Urban digital twins.

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.
