Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model. A unique citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to each article at the time of publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online and print versions of the publication. SPIE uses a seven-digit CID article numbering system structured as follows:

  • The first five digits correspond to the SPIE volume number.

  • The last two digits indicate publication order within the volume using a Base 36 numbering system employing both numerals and letters. These two-number sets start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B … 0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc. The CID Number appears on each page of the manuscript.

Authors

Numbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the seven-digit citation identifier (CID) article numbering system used in Proceedings of SPIE. The first five digits reflect the volume number. Base 36 numbering is employed for the last two digits and indicates the order of articles within the volume. Numbers start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B…0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc.

Introduction

The organizing committee, scientific committee, and editors would like to thank the authors and participants who attended the Seventh International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geoinformation of Environment (RSCy2019), which was held 18–21 March 2019 in Paphos, Cyprus. The RSCy2019 conference focused on emerging issues in remote sensing and geoinformation of environment. The keynote speakers and thought-provoking technical program encouraged the exchange of ideas and provided the foundation for future collaboration and innovation.

The conference was organized by the Cyprus Remote Sensing Society in cooperation with and support from: ESA—European Space Agency (France), GEO—Group on Earth Observations (Switzerland), NASA (United States), Copernicus (Belgium), Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (Germany), ETEK—Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber (Cyprus), the Department of Meteorology (Cyprus), the Department of Electronic Communications of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works (Cyprus), the Agricultural Research Institute, the Cyprus Tourism Organization (Cyprus), Cyprus University of Technology (Cyprus), Neapolis University Pafos (Cyprus), the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Geosystems Hellas S.A. (Greece), ICOMOS Cyprus, CyRIC (Cyprus), and Copernicus Relays/Copernicus Academy (Belgium). In addition, the conference was supported by the European Commission, the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), Olyseus Innovations Ltd. (Cyprus), Cyprus Press and Information Office, CopHub.AC (Austria), and MedRIN—Mediterranean Regional Information Network, as well as our media partners, Remote Sensing, Sensors, Geosciences and Sustainability.

The manuscripts in this volume, reviewed for presentation and accepted for publication by the scientific committee, represent continued advancements in the field of remote sensing and geoinformation. The program, which included both oral and poster presentations, was organized around ten major themes: Agriculture, Atmospheric, Coastal Waters-Ocean-Large Water Regions, Remote Sensing for Cultural Heritage, Forests, Land Cover, Natural Hazards, Remote Sensing, Satellites and Urban Environment. The abstracts and subsequent papers make important contributions to the open scientific literature on remote sensing and geoinformation.

We thank the authors for sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm. Experts from over 40 countries presented their scientific findings in the conference program. At the conference closing ceremony, awards were given for the Best Paper and Best Poster, following peer-review. In order to be eligible for the Best Paper and Best Poster Award, it was necessary for the authors to have submitted a manuscript for the SPIE Conference Proceedings, to have registered for the conference, and present their paper or poster.

The conference was enhanced by the inclusion of the CopHub workshop, the LiDAR workshop at Paphos Castle, and the MedRIN meeting. We are honored that so many experts from all over the world specializing in so many diverse areas of remote sensing and geoinformation attended this conference. The conference was an excellent opportunity for colleagues to share their knowledge, network, and collaborate on future research. We encourage you to take this opportunity to learn about the latest, most state-of-the-art findings and applications in the field of remote sensing and geoinformation.

Special thanks are due to the session chairs who provided invaluable assistance during the event. We thank the SPIE staff for following the proceedings through the publication process, and we thank the organizations who have supported the conference.

We also thank the Minister of Communication and Works for opening the RSCy2019 conference and for supporting the conference over the past seven years.
