Chinese scientists have developed a technology platform able to provide marine remote sensing data, in an effort to meet the nation?痵 retrieval and application needs for marine satellite data. Researchers rolled out a line of software for components development, and multi-dimensional data viewing and calculating, together with a proprietary software system able to process the data derived from 15 domestic and overseas satellites. With an open system, multi-data source conversion capacity, and module integration capability, the platform also works on class II water bodies and sea-air interface modules.
The new system presents an important value, as it changes the monopoly status of overseas remote sensing data processing software in China, while meeting the nation?痵 needs for marine remote sensing data. It provides an important technology support for the application of marine remote sensing data derived from China?痵 own Marine I satellite. It also builds up China?痵 capacity for marine satellite design and application, and for maintaining the national marine information security, and for uplifting China?痵 S&T position in the world. |
