Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute a chapter for the upcoming volume entitled "Super-resolution for remote sensing" to be published by Springer Nature. The volume will be available both in print and in ebook format by fall of 2024 on SpringerLink. Below is a short description of the volume:

Even though the computer vision field has recently taken great leaps, the capabilities of many systems are limited due to insufficient spatial resolution of the available input images. This is particularly relevant for remote sensing (including satellite images) when it is often very costly or even impossible to acquire data of sufficient resolution. This obstacle has motivated many researchers to explore the topic of super-resolution – a common term for a variety of techniques whose goal is to reconstruct a high-resolution image from a low-resolution observation. The emerging techniques underpinned with deep learning allow for obtaining very promising results both in terms of generating visually plausible outcomes, as well as concerning the capabilities of reconstructing the actual high-resolution information. New research directions include in particular real-world super-resolution aimed at enhancing the original (rather than simulated) images, as well as new evaluation procedures that would allow for assessing the quality of super-resolved images and understanding their value in different contexts.

This volume is aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art in super-resolution for remote sensing. Topics of interest include:
- Evaluation procedures to assess the super-resolution quality,
- Benchmark datasets (simulated and real-life),
- Super-resolution for specific data modalities (panchromatic, multispectral and hyperspectral images),
- Single-image super-resolution, including generative adversarial networks,
- Multi-image fusion (temporal and/or spectral),
- Real-world super-resolution,
- Task-driven super-resolution.

Each contributed chapter is expected to present a novel research study, a comparative study, or a survey of the literature. There will be no publication fees for accepted chapters.
