IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine - June 2017 - 7

CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine

Special issue on
"Hyperspectral Imaging"
Guest Editors
Prof. Mario Parente, University of Massachusetts, USA (mparente@ecs.umass.edu)
Prof. John Kerekes, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA (kerekes@cis.rit.edu)
Dr. Rob Heylen, University of Antwerp, Belgium (rob.heylen@uantwerpen.be)
Hyperspectral imaging is one of the cornerstones of remote sensing, and has already seen
numerous high-impact applications in a large number of industries and fields, with thousands
of new scientists discovering its potential each year. This special issue will present an array of
tutorial-like overview papers that give the interested reader an introduction on the state of
hyperspectral imaging at this point in time. The first part of the contributions will focus on the
imaging technology itself, the data acquisition process, including ground-truthing campaigns,
post-processing of raw data including atmospheric compensation and denoising, as well as
simulation of hyperspectral imagery. The second part presents major hyperspectral image
analysis applications, with a focus on scientific problems and state of the art data-analytics
approaches.
In agreement with the approach and style of the Magazine, the contributors to this special
issue will pay strong attention to creating a balanced mix between ensuring scientific depth,
and dissemination to a wide public which would encompass remote sensing scientists,
practitioners, and students.
The topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
- Hyperspectral	
  sensors
- Ground--‐truthing	
  and	
  vicarious	
  calibration
- Atmospheric	
  compensation	
  and	
  reflectance	
  retrieval	
   	
  
- Simulation	
  of	
  hyperspectral	
  images
- Applications:	
   Forestry,	
   Agriculture,	
   Urban,	
   Military,	
   Geology,	
   Planetary	
   Science,

  Sensing
	
  
Format and preliminary schedule.
Articles submitted to this special issue of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Magazine must contain significant relevance to geoscience and remote sensing and
should have noteworthy tutorial value. Selection of invited papers will be done on the
basis of 4-page White papers, submitted in double-column format. These papers must
discuss the foreseen objectives of the paper, the importance of the addressed topic, the
impact of the contribution, and the authors' expertize and past activities on the topic.
Contributors selected on the basis of the White papers will be invited to submit full
manuscripts. Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/grsm
using the Manuscript Central interface. Prospective
authors should consult the site
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/servlet/opac?punumber=6245518 for guidelines and information on
paper submission. Submitted articles should not have been published or be under review
elsewhere. All submissions will be peer reviewed according to the IEEE and Geoscience and
Remote Sensing Society guidelines
