Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital photogrammetry and 3D laser scanning play pivotal roles in advancing the field of geomatics, offering innovative solutions for mapping, surveying, and modeling the Earth's surface and its underlying elements. This Special Issue explores their applications, shedding light on the transformative impact these technologies have on various domains within geomatics.
In this context, some potential use cases have driven significant advances in areas such as Land Use Planning, Natural Resource Management, Infrastructure Development, Transportation Engineering, Environmental Monitoring, Disaster Management, Archaeological Studies, Mining and Exploration, Precision Agriculture, Geomorphological Studies, Utility Infrastructure Management, Climate Change Research, Cultural Heritage Preservation, Precision Forestry, and Remote Sensing Applications, among others.
This Special Issue aims to explore and highlight these diverse applications, showcasing the transformative potential of digital photogrammetry and 3D laser scanning in advancing the field of geomatics.
The submission of original work highlighting the latest research and technical developments is encouraged. Additionally, review articles and comparative studies are welcomed that contribute to enriching the scientific community's understanding of the impact and possibilities of digital photogrammetry and 3D laser scanning in geomatics.

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 2400 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.
