Editorial for the Special Issue “Application of Satellite Remote Sensing in Solving Urban Geo-Environmental Issues”

Abstract

This Special Issue focuses on the potential of remote sensing (RS) and Earth observation (EO) to visualize and solve urban and peri-urban geo-environmental issues with the aim to protect the urban population which is becoming more and more vulnerable to disasters [...]

NIR to LWIR Dichroic Beamsplitter Designed and Manufactured for Space Optical Remote Sensor

“…Measurements of radiation at many wavelengths can provide more information about the materials in the selected feature scene, and images can be processed to extract all relevant information contained in multiple spectral bands [1]. As one of the main detection payloads on Earth observation satellites, the infrared multispectral imager has vast applications in meteorological analysis [2], environmental protection [3,4], the exploration of natural resources [5], and early warnings of geological disasters [6,7]. In recent years, because there has been a new generation of photoelectric detection technology that captures image data within specific wavelength ranges throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, multispectral imaging improves the dimension of image information and thus extends the function of traditional detection technology [8].…”
