Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent Remote Sensing harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize data analysis and interpretation in remote sensing. As remote sensing data deluge in from satellites and drones, AI techniques offer unprecedented capabilities for processing, classifying, and extracting insights from this vast trove of information. By automating complex tasks and revealing patterns unseen to the naked eye, this research area is crucial for advancing precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, disaster response, and urban planning, among others.

This Special Issue is highly relevant to the scope of remote sensing, as it addresses a key trend in the field: the integration of AI with remote sensing technologies. By highlighting the potential and applications of AI-driven techniques, it contributes to advancing the state of the art in remote sensing research and practice, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.

Articles may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • General remote sensing image processing, including object detection, classification, segmentation, anomaly detection, change detection, denoising, fusion, etc.
  • Real-world application with remote sensing data, such as optical images, SAR images, multispectral/hyperspectral images, multi-source data, and so on.
  • Methodology: deep learning models, traditional models, interpretable models, etc.

How to effectively extract spectral and spatial information and apply it to hyperspectral image classification (HSIC) has been a hot research topic. In recent years, the transformer-based HSIC models have attracted much interest due to their advantages in long-distance modeling of spatial and spectral features in hyperspectral images (HSIs). However, the transformer-based method suffers from high computational complexity, especially in HSIC tasks that require processing large amounts of data. In addition, the spatial variability inherent in HSIs limits the performance improvement of HSIC. To handle these challenges, a novel Spectral–Spatial Unified Mamba (SSUM) model is proposed, which introduces the State Space Model (SSM) into HSIC tasks to reduce computational complexity and improve model performance. The SSUM model is composed of two branches, i.e., the Spectral Mamba branch and the Spatial Mamba branch, designed to extract the features of HSIs from both spectral and spatial perspectives. Specifically, in the Spectral Mamba branch, a nearest-neighbor spectrum fusion (NSF) strategy is proposed to alleviate the interference caused by the spatial variability (i.e., same object having different spectra). In addition, a novel sub-spectrum scanning (SS) mechanism is proposed, which scans along the sub-spectrum dimension to enhance the model’s perception of subtle spectral details. In the Spatial Mamba branch, a Spatial Mamba (SM) module is designed by combining a 2D Selective Scan Module (SS2D) and Spatial Attention (SA) into a unified network to sufficiently extract the spatial features of HSIs. Finally, the classification results are derived by uniting the output feature of the Spectral Mamba and Spatial Mamba branch, thus improving the comprehensive performance of HSIC. The ablation studies verify the effectiveness of the proposed NSF, SS, and SM. Comparison experiments on four public HSI datasets show the superior of the proposed SSUM. Full article

Optical remote sensing images are of considerable significance in a plethora of applications, including feature recognition and scene semantic segmentation. However, the quality of remote sensing images is compromised by the influence of various types of noise, which has a detrimental impact on their practical applications in the aforementioned fields. Furthermore, the intricate texture characteristics inherent to remote sensing images present a significant hurdle in the removal of noise and the restoration of image texture details. In order to address these challenges, we propose a feature interaction complementary learning (FICL) strategy for remote sensing image denoising. In practical terms, the network is comprised of four main components: noise predictor (NP), reconstructed image predictor (RIP), feature interaction module (FIM), and fusion module. The combination of these modules serves to not only complete the fusion of the prediction results of NP and RIP, but also to achieve a deep coupling of the characteristics of the two predictors. Consequently, the advantages of noise prediction and reconstructed image prediction can be combined, thereby enhancing the denoising capability of the model. Furthermore, comprehensive experimentation on both synthetic Gaussian noise datasets and real-world denoising datasets has demonstrated that FICL has achieved favorable outcomes, emphasizing the efficacy and robustness of the proposed framework.
