Editorial
Among the modern and emerging disciplines of natural science, remote sensing technologies have become a significant and worldwide tool for various approaches towards monitoring, assessment and conservation of natural resources and environment. Remote sensing makes it possible to collect information about an object or a phenomenon without making physical contact with it. This phenomenon is especially helpful in the case of monitoring areas which are difficult to access or sometimes simply inaccessible. With the availability of remotely sensed data from different sensors of various platforms with a wide range of spatiotemporal, radiome
