Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unmanned aerial vehicles have become an increasingly viable option for the measurement of the environment in which we live. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the development and use of remote sensing technology for environmental measurement and monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicles and systems. We invite research articles that consolidate our understanding of the state-of-the-art in this area. The Special Issue will publish full research, review, and highly rated manuscripts addressing the above topic. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but it is not limited to the following:
- UAV applications of remote sensing for environmental measurement
- Improvements in UAV technology for remote sensing
- Micro UAV applications
- UAV sensor design
- Descriptions of processing algorithms applied to UAV-based datasets including artificial intelligence and-data mining-based strategies
- UAV system architecture for remote sensing applications
- Collaborative strategies and mechanisms to integrate UAVs into heterogeneous sensing networks

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.
