Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote Sensing Technology (RST) mainly focuses on the acquisition of information about the Earth’s surface and atmosphere using sensors onboard airborne or spaceborne platforms. RST has been widely used in ground mapping, resource regulation, environmental protection, urban planning, geological research, disaster relief and emergency, military reconnaissance, and other fields.
Amongst the applications of RST, object detection and recognition from multi-source and multi-modal remote sensing data, to detect and identify target objects, play a key role. Target object detection and identification is usually achieved using a combination of signal/image processing techniques and statistical models. However, because of the volume, variety, and velocity of RS data acquired via airborne or spaceborne platforms, sophisticated signal/image processing techniques used for feature extraction (feature engineering) and statistical models need to be adapted or redesigned according to the characteristics of the new data.
Recent advances in deep learning architectures have shown promising results over statistical counterparts in target object detection and identification. Although such learning architectures are heavily dependent on computing resources, they are easy to use compared to sophisticated statistical models. Further, deep learning architectures are also able to render feature engineering as a part of their learning process which makes them extremely powerful in target object detection and identification process.
This Special Issue focuses on target object detection and identification using deep learning architectures on multi-source and multi-modal remote sensing data captured from both active and passive sensors onboard airborne or spaceborne platforms. The Special Issue will include the following topics, specifically designed for target object detection and identification from remote sensing data, but not limited to them:
· Feature extraction
· Feature design
· Feature learning
· Design of deep learning architectures
· Theory of deep learning architectures
· Efficient training of deep learning architectures
· Deep convolutional networks
· Efficient object search methods on remote sensing images

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.
