Abstract

The 21 papers (from 61 submitted) published in the Special Issue “Radar and Sonar Imaging Processing” highlighted a variety of topics related to remote sensing with radar and sonar sensors. The sequence of articles included in the SI dealt with a broad profile of aspects of the use of radar and sonar images in line with the latest scientific trends. The latest developments in science, including artificial intelligence, were used.

Highlights

Over the last few years, radar and sonar technology has been at the center of several major developments in remote sensing in both civilian and defense applications
Sonar technology has been used for dozens of decades, at the beginning only for military solutions but, today, using 3D versions, it is used for many underwater tasks, such as underwater surface imaging, target detections, and tracking, among others
The Special Issue entitled “Radar and Sonar Imaging Processing” comprised 21 articles on many topics related to remote sensing with radar and sonar sensors

Summary

Introduction

Over the last few years, radar and sonar technology has been at the center of several major developments in remote sensing in both civilian and defense applications. Radar technology has existed for more than 100 years, it is still developing and it is implemented in many maritime, air, satellite, and land applications. Radar and sonar systems are mounted onboard smart and flexible platforms and on several types of unmanned vehicles. Both of these technologies focus on the remote detection of targets and both may encounter many common scientific challenges. In this article we provide a brief overview of the published papers, in particular the use of advanced modern technologies and data fusion techniques These two areas seem to be the right direction for the future development of radar and sonar imaging and processing
