Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is famous for its 24-hour all-weather imaging capabilities. In recent years, SAR imaging capabilities have improved dramatically. However, SAR image interpretation still faces great challenges. Object detection and information extraction are among the fundamental tasks, which are of great significance in both military and civilian applications.

This special issue aims to collect the advanced methods and applications in SAR Image object detection and information extraction. We are pleased to invite you to contribute your newest research results to this special issue. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

(1) Object detection and information extraction in spaceborne/airborne SAR images

(2) Object detection and information extraction in miniSAR/nanoSAR images

(3) Object detection and information extraction based on edge/cloud computing

(4) Detection and information extraction of moving targets such as ships, aircraft and vehicles

(5) Information extraction of fixed facilities such as buildings and bridges

(6) Moving target refocusing and recognition

(7) Integration of intelligent imaging and recognition

(8) Multi-modal data assisted object detection or recognition in SAR images

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
