Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensing has become widespread in the last decade thanks to the advancement of sensing devices, coupled with both satellites and aerial vehicles such as UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). They are able to generate massive datasets with a high spatial resolution, which involves many different challenges for their processing. The captured information has a marked spatial character and can change over time across different captures, requiring spatiotemporal information systems. On the other hand, the capture of a unique data type may not be sufficient, requiring multi-source data fusion of heterogeneous data. Furthermore, the real world is three-dimensional, and 3D modelling describes the geometry and appearance of real scenarios, providing the user with a more accurate scene understanding. In summary, challenges are focused on techniques for storage, data mining, spatiotemporal analysis, edge computing, machine and deep learning, object detection or semantic classification, among many others. Advances in this area have a direct impact on broad fields of knowledge such as precision agriculture, ecology or territorial configuration.

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.
