Topics of Interest
The 46th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS 2025) invites researchers, practitioners, and innovators to share groundbreaking work across a diverse spectrum of themes. Below is a comprehensive overview of the conference’s focal areas, designed to address global challenges through cutting-edge geospatial technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration.
01
General Remote Sensing
This theme focuses on foundational advancements in remote sensing technologies and methodologies. Researchers are invited to explore innovations in sensor development, such as hyperspectral, LiDAR, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems, which enhance data precision and resolution. Contributions may cover novel data acquisition methods, including UAV-based surveys, CubeSat deployments, and real-time satellite data streaming. Discussions will also delve into image processing techniques like noise reduction, spectral unmixing, and multi-temporal analysis, as well as advanced analytical approaches for 3D modeling and change detection. Example topics include miniaturized sensors for low-cost Earth observation or AI-driven algorithms for automating large-scale data processing.
02
Applications of Remote Sensing
This topic highlights the transformative role of remote sensing across diverse sectors. In agriculture, studies might address crop health monitoring using NDVI or thermal imaging for irrigation efficiency. Forestry applications could include deforestation tracking via SAR or carbon stock estimation using LiDAR. Urban planning submissions may explore land-use classification and smart city development, while disaster management research could focus on flood mapping or post-earthquake damage assessment. Environmental monitoring contributions might examine coastal erosion, glacier dynamics, or air quality analysis, whereas climate change studies could model sea-level rise or quantify methane emissions. The goal is to showcase how geospatial data solves real-world challenges.
03
Emerging Technologies
This theme bridges remote sensing with cutting-edge technological advancements. Researchers are encouraged to present work on AI and machine learning, such as automated land cover classification, anomaly detection in satellite imagery, or predictive models for wildfire risk. Submissions on cloud computing might explore scalable platforms like Google Earth Engine for processing petabytes of data, while big data analytics could address real-time insights from IoT-integrated systems. Edge computing applications, such as on-device processing for drones, and blockchain for geospatial data security are also relevant. Case studies could include AI-powered illegal mining detection or federated learning for privacy-preserving data analysis.
04
Geospatial Data Integration
This topic emphasizes the synergy between remote sensing and spatial data systems. Contributions may explore integrating satellite imagery with GIS tools for urban planning, such as 3D city modeling using LiDAR and drone data. Discussions will address multi-source data fusion, such as blending SAR with optical imagery for flood forecasting, or harmonizing socio-economic datasets with environmental metrics. Submissions could also focus on interoperability standards (e.g., Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs) or decision-support dashboards that combine real-time satellite data with crowd-sourced inputs for disaster response. Example projects include smart grids optimizing energy distribution using geospatial analytics.
05
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
This topic aligns remote sensing with global sustainability targets. For SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities), research might analyze urban heat islands using thermal imagery or slum detection via nighttime lights. SDG 13 (Climate Action) submissions could focus on carbon sequestration mapping via SAR or methane leak detection. SDG 14 (Life Below Water) may highlight coral reef health assessments using multispectral drones, while SDG 15 (Life on Land) could address habitat fragmentation studies. Contributions to SDG 6 (Clean Water) might monitor groundwater reserves using GRACE satellite data. Case studies could include community-led mangrove restoration in Indonesia, supported by Sentinel-2 monitoring.
