Journal overview

International Journal of Remote Sensing (IJRS) is a subscription-based peeer reviewed journal publishing international research on remote sensing of the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere and the terrestrial earth, as well as human modifications to the earth system.

An official journal of the   Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry SocietyInternational Journal of Remote Sensing addresses the theory, science and technology of remote sensing and novel applications of remotely sensed data.

The IJRS Drones Section publishes research related to remote sensing with unmanned aerial systems (UASs, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones)

The journal covers the following topics:

  • Remotely sensed data collection, analysis, interpretation and display
  • Surveying from space, air, water and ground platforms
  • Imaging and related sensors
  • Image processing
  • Use of remotely sensed data
  • Economic surveys and cost-benefit analyses
