Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is well known today, the problem of strong urban growth is having many negative effects on the ecosystem and is one of the possible causes of the climate change. It is important to monitor urban temperature changes over time and to define urban heat islands by investigating the correlations between them and the growth of human activities in their surroundings. Parallel to urban growth, there is a decrease in vegetation, so it would also be interesting to understand the land-use change accompanying this phenomenon. The use of satellite data can help in this kind of analysis if it is investigated without the aid of on-site measurements. The use of deep learning algorithms for estimating data is sometimes agreed upon.
The aim of this Special Issue is to convene all researchers working in this field and to share the latest updates and developments in the field of urban mapping through satellite images (multispectral or hyperspectral) or Lidar data.
We invite researchers to share their results in this Special Issue, with the expectation that they will provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art applications and introduce new methods for urban thermal 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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
