Call for Papers
Submissions are invited on a comprehensive range of topics, reflecting the latest advancements and applications in the field, including (but not limited) to:
Author Guidelines
The final Conference Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore, subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements. Only those final papers for which at least one regular registration has been paid and the work has been presented at the conference (by the author, a co-author or at least a knowledgeable and qualified colleague) will be included. No-show papers are not to be published, per IEEE policy. (Application for publication with IEEE is in progress)
Publication of selected papers in IEEE Journals:
As has been practice of all previous MIGARS editions, outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions to appear in Special stream of IEEE GRSS journals.
Publication & Indexing
Preparation: Please use the provided templates (Word | Latex) for MIGARS 2026. They closely align with the more generic IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings. The templates include detailed formatting guidelines.
(Final) Manuscript: Two-columns, four (4) pages maximum (including figures, tables, bibliography, and any notes/appendices). This is a strict limit for accepted submissions.
AI GENERATED TEXT POLICY and IEEE GUIDELINES
MIGARS 2026 prohibites the submission of manuscripts generated by large-scale language models (LLMs) and similar artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Only light editing of the authors’ original text, limited to spelling and grammar corrections, is allowed.
Authors must comply with the guidelines on the use and disclosure of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) specified in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual:
The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.
The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy. In this case, disclosure as noted above is recommended.
Information or content contained in or about a manuscript under review shall not be processed through a public platform (directly or indirectly) for AI generation of text for a review. Doing so is considered a breach of confidentiality because AI systems generally learn from any input.

We Welcome the authors with participation in three types of submissions:
1) Short Abstract (minumim of 300 words),
2) Extended Abstract (minimum 2 Pages) and
3) Full paper (max 4 Pages).
Note:
1) Accepted and presented full papers will be indexed in the proceedings as per IEEE guidelines.
2) Authors of extended abstract papers need to provide the full paper after acceptance of the abstract. The final full paper after presentation in the confernece will be submitted for indexing.
3)Short Abstracts shall be encouraged as oral presentations or posters. Short abstracts will not be considered for publication and indexing.
Best Paper Awards:
Best paper awards will be preseted for the outstanding papers.
1) MIGARS Young Researcher Award: The award, which includes a citation and cash prize, will be presented to the researcher of age less than 35 years as on the date of conference, by consdering the long-standing research controbutions in the areas of remote sensing and machine learning.
2) Best Paper Awards will be presented to the best 3 oral and poster presentations in each category of the technical sessions to be organized based on the submissions in various themes of the conference.


Submission, Registration and Publication Policies
All papers submitted to MIGARS 2026 must be written in English, formatted in the standard 2-column format and uploaded in pdf format. Please check the provided Word and LaTeX templates. All accepted papers are limited to four (4) pages.
Conference papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore only if all three of the following requirements are fulfilled: (a) submit all publication materials, (b) pay at least one full, regular registration, and (c) present the work at the conference. If an accepted paper is not presented at the conference (by the author, a co-author or a knowledgeable and qualified colleague), it will not be included in the final Conference Proceedings and will not be published in IEEE Xplore, per IEEE policy.
Outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions to appear in a Special Issue of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters. Presentation Instructions
The 2026 MIGARS conference features exclusively onsite presentations, offered in either oral or poster formats. Registered participants preparing a presentation for the conference are invited to check the recommendations:
