Journal of Geovisualization and Spatial Analysis - Call for Papers: Urban Analysis with Remote Sensing
Remote sensing is a significant data provider for observing urban growth and analysing changes in the land. Furthermore, remote sensing may be used to evaluate the industrial environment of air and water pollution. Urban Remote Sensing acts as a medium for the transmission of scientific proof theoretically and practical information that helps resolve or understand urban challenges and formulate necessary policies for urban sustainability systems. Urban Remote Sensing is a medium for providing scientific proof theoretical and practical information that contributes to addressing or improving appreciating urban challenges and developing related policies for a smart development system.
Optical remote sensing equipment generates emissions or radiation, whereas inactive ones rely on reflected sunlight. Sunlight also ranges in frequencies, which are classified as short and long. The most spectacular examples of dynamic remotely sensed are radars and lidars. A remotely sensed system's output is often a picture of the area being watched. Because remotely sensed data may not offer all the data requested for a comprehensive evaluation, numerous additional spatial features from other sources must be combined with remotely sensed data. Data preparation and verification are the two most difficult problems for remote sensing technologies. Many remote sensing data packages are available, although their resolutions differ. There is a lack of collaboration across the RS and GIS communities. Labour shortages and skill misallocation There aren't enough geographical institutions or remote sensing centres. Remote sensing and geographic information systems are overly focused on business. For tiny areas demanding a one-time investigation, the procedure is too costly. To analyse the picture data, certain education is needed. It is challenging to create large-scale maps using satellite measurements. Even though we see inconveniences in remote sensing, on the other hand, we also experience many improvements in remote sensing technology that are utilised as everlasting recordings that give important information in a variety of frequencies. It identifies natural disasters, forest fires, and volcanic activities to prompt rescue and preparation.
Classifying Technology Trends in Urban Remote Sensing for future scenarios, this Special Issue of " Technology Trends in Urban Remote Sensing" encourages researchers and authors to publish research papers and review articles on the topic of how technology trends in remote sensing. We seek research that makes major contributions that completely cover all the urban remote sensing collaboration across the RS and GIS communities.
Topics of interest include, but aren't limited to:
- Various Sensing Methods' Benefits and Drawbacks
- Remote sensing's drawbacks
- Remote sensing issues in emerging nations
