IEEE Call for Papers: Analysis-Ready Data Interoperability

CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, Special Issue on Analysis-Ready Data Interoperability

The second Analysis-Ready Data (ARD) workshop on remote sensing data interoperability took place on August 5-7, 2019 at the USGS Menlo Park Campus. A Special Issue of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing (J-STARS) is planned for open access publication. This special issue will accept a select number of studies presented at the ARD workshop as well as from the broader scientific and engineering community engaged in the following topics:
 Geometric and Radiometric Harmonization
 Image Quality Metrics, Monitoring and Specification
 Machine-learning applications/methods
 Benchmarking standards, including datasets, harmonization algorithms, and machine learning performance
 Time-series Analysis and sensor-fusion algorithms
 Labeled Training Data
 Atmospheric compensation, and cloud/shadow masking
 Sensor and pixel alignment
 Color and Visual Products
 ARD-driven Payload design & System Engineering, Hardware
 Standards for Data Distribution and Commercialization (Open Data Cube, STAC, COGs, etc.)
 Imaging pipelines, software engineering and distributed computing for ARD

Submission Period is October 1, 2019 – March 31, 2020, for publication later in 2020.  Read More here:
