The main emphasis is on the development of computational intelligence (CI) techniques for solving satellite remote sensing (SRS) and unmanned aerial vehicle remote sensing (UAV-RS) problems and broadening the set of application domains to which they can be usefully applied. There is a need to build intelligent data processing system using CI for effective and efficient ways of solving a wide range of problem areas in Remote Sensing (RS). The system is said to be intelligent if it can perceive their goals, automatic in processing, learn from the environment and past experiences, and adapt to accommodate fast-changing environments and goals. Each task in an intelligent system is interesting and valuable in their own right, but building such system can facilitate a fundamental shift in the way we see them for solving complex SRS and UAV-RS problems. Artificial Neural Network, specifically Deep Learning Neural Network Spiking Neural Networks, and Extreme Machine Learning, Fuzzy logic as well as the gradient-free optimization techniques like Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, Ant Colony Optimization Cuckoo Search Algorithm, Firefly Algorithm, play an important role in decision-making and modeling in RS related problems. Also, this symposium deals with different CI techniques for solving RS problems on big data.

The manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format. Click Here to know further guidelines for submission.

The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers from the academia and industries in the fields of RS and CI.
