3rd International Electronic Conference on Remote Sensing

Welcome from the Chair of the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Remote Sensing

22 March to April 2019

22 May to 5 June 2019

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Remote Sensing (ECRS-3). ECRS-3 aims at promoting and facilitating the research and development of remote sensing and serving social and environmental sustainability.

Nowadays, increasing number of remote sensing platforms and sensors can provide more detailed information to measure and monitor changes in the earth’s surface and atmosphere. Remote sensing has been playing a more important role in addressing various global issues related to environmental monitoring, disaster management, national security, agriculture, forestry, natural ecosystems, etc. Related technology can suggest effective and efficient solution for all these issues involved in every aspect from global to nation and nation to individuals. Particularly, with the rapid development of spatial information acquisition system and progress in data transmission and reception system, many new sensors suitable for a large variety of different applications are significantly expanding the boundary of remote sensing discipline. The technical innovations in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and image processing are expected to further promote the analysis and understanding of remote sensing data at the same time. All these boosting things indicate that remote sensing technology is facing a major development opportunity.

ECRS-3 will include the following themes covering the key areas of remote sensing sciences:

• Remote Sensing Data Enhancement
• Remote Sensing Data Understanding
• Deep Learning Based Remote Sensing
• Remote Sensing Data and Code
• New Devices and Platforms for Remote Sensing

We sincerely welcome you to take part in this conference to exchange and share ideas and experiences, discuss the latest developments, and identify future trends for remote sensing techniques and applications in these and related areas. We hope we can move forward the development of remote sensing in theory and application together.

The 3rd International Electronic Conference on Remote Sensing will be held at https://sciforum.net/conference/ecrs-3, the platform developed by MDPI to organize electronic conferences and discussion groups.

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference, and selected papers will be considered for publication in Remote Sensing, which is an open access journal publication of MDPI in the field of remote sensing
