Abstract (may include machine translation)
Small satellites are dramatically improving the applicability of remote sensing by offering new observation opportunities. Currently, small satellites are offering satellite imagery from not only national space agencies, but also for commercial and other private ventures, including developing countries. The innovative technical approaches and new possibilities with constellations of small satellites have been developed for disaster and environmental monitoring.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collects original papers and inherent studies of utilization of small satellite and small satellite constellations for different types of disaster (such as floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc.) and environmental (such as forests, rivers, costal areas, agriculture land, etc.) monitoring. Among them, technical interventions and operational methodologies oriented to risk reduction strategies such as plans, protocols, working procedures, early warning systems, and any other innovations in the sector or elements that combine modern concepts with consolidated realities of the past should be included.
The topic ‘Small Satellites for Disaster and Environmental Monitoring’ is focused to explore the potential of these new and emerging small satellite applications for disaster and environmental monitoring. Potential topics might include:
- Earth observation applications with operational small satellite;
- New processing and analysis for small satellite data for disaster and environmental monitoring;
- Calibration and validation method for small satellite;
- Machine learning and deep learning for satellite constellation data;
- Technology demonstrations of emerging small satellite constellations.
