Introduction of the S.I.
Coal mining and utilization bring many environmental, disaster and safety problems. These problems hinder the clean production of coal. Remote sensing, as an emerging technology, is receiving increasing attention. Satellites, aircraft, drones, and ground-based sensors are providing a variety of remote sensing data, including optical, hyperspectral, SAR, laser point clouds, GNSS signals, and more. These data show great potential in near real-time environment and disaster assessment, coal production monitoring, mine digital twin modeling, etc. in the process of Coal mining and utilization. In view of this, the purpose of editing the special issue is to provide a better understanding of recent related developments, the status quo, as well as elucidating existing problems. The aforementioned will facilitate the development of advanced techniques for remote sensing technology in the future.
This special issue is also part of the 18th International Congress for Mine Surveying, which will be held in Xuzhou, China in this coming October. This congress will be held the International Society for Mine Surveying, which i is a non-profit academic organization associated with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), established in 1969, now has 43 membership countries and has held 17 Congresses so far. The theme of this congress is “Remote Sensing Based Surveying on The Coal Mine Environment”.
