The research in land cover classification and machine learning for urban areas using remote sensing data also addresses challenges related to remote sensing big data. With the increasing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery and other remote sensing technologies, there is a need to efficiently process and analyze massive amounts of data. Remote sensing big data refers to the extensive data generated by various sensors and platforms, including satellite imagery, airborne sensors, and LiDAR. This data presents computational and analytical challenges due to its volume, variety, and velocity. Traditional techniques struggle with such large datasets. Thus, this Research Topic focuses on developing scalable algorithms and methodologies to handle remote sensing big data effectively. Machine learning techniques are vital for automated and efficient analysis of large volumes of remote sensing data. Advanced algorithms and parallel processing approaches are utilized to manage and extract valuable information, enabling accurate land cover classification and analysis in urban areas.

This Research Topic aims to address challenges in land cover classification and machine learning techniques for urban areas using remote sensing data, proposing advancements to improve accuracy, explainability, and efficiency in analysis.

To achieve this, advanced methodologies and algorithms are needed to effectively classify and analyze complex and dynamic land cover patterns in urban environments. Machine learning techniques automate the analysis of large volumes of remote sensing data. Recent advances involve integrating multiple data sources like multispectral imagery, LiDAR data, and auxiliary datasets to enhance classification accuracy. Object-based classification and deep learning techniques capture detailed and contextual information from remote sensing data. The goal also encompasses overcoming challenges posed by remote sensing big data, utilizing scalable algorithms and parallel processing techniques. These advancements ensure efficient processing and analysis of large datasets, addressing computational and analytical obstacles associated with remote sensing big data. By achieving these objectives, this Research Topic is expected to provide accurate and timely information on land cover dynamics in urban areas, facilitating improved urban planning, environmental monitoring, and sustainable development.
