Every two years the Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE) brings together researchers, practitioners and students to present, share, and discuss their latest findings and results. Early May 2025 the next edition will take place: https://2025.ieee-jurse.org/
In combination with this event, the chairs of the event edited a Special Issue in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing journal titled “Exploring the Potential of Urban Remote Sensing” that is related to JURSE. Now, the foreword to this Special Issue has been published. Here is the link to the foreword: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10960404
Guest editors are the local chairs of JURSE 2023 Nektarios Chrysoulakis and Giorgos Somarakis from FORTH, Greece, and the general JURSE chairs Hannes Taubenböck from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and our Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC), Germany, Monika Kuffer from the University in Twente, The Netherlands, and Clément Mallet from the University Gustave Eiffel, IGN, ENSG, France.
The Special Issue consists of 25 articles covering a wide range of topics from transferring various types of remote sensing data (space-borne and air-borne as well as UAV data) into geoinformation (e.g., buildings, trees, urban structural types) to thematic applications in the domains of natural hazards, air quality, urban heat islands, poverty and more to works combining remote sensing data with other types of geodata. The Special Issue is based on expanded and new contributions that were presented at JURSE 2023: https://jurse2023.org/
The Special Issue also includes some contributions from our working groups:
