The operational application of Chinese high-resolution satellite in the investigation of land and resources

In recent years, a number of Chinese remote sensing satellites, including GF-1, GF-2, ZY-1 02C, have been launched and put into use. Compared with traditional application pattern of individual interpretation, continuous remote sensing images can support a more large scaled application in land and resources, known as the operational application. In this paper, an operational application system, which was designed and established since the year 2010, was introduced especially about its software architecture and several key regulations under complex network environment. The running of this system connect different individuals and sections to an integrate production line, supporting the producing and servicing of basic remote sensing images, senior remote sensing images, and thematic mappings of land and resources.
