ABSTRACT

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) based remote sensing is an emerging and important data source. Recently, the use of UAVs for remote sensing applications has been rapidly growing owing to their greater availability and the miniaturization of sensors. UAVs are surpassing satellites and aircraft in remote sensing data supply for many local requirements. In comparison with satellite remote sensing data, most UAV remote sensing data is characterized by high resolution, small coverage area, and heterogeneous multi-sources. However, UAVs lack a unified space–time framework and standardized data process. This paper describes a UAV remote sensing data carrier that can be used as an e-commerce platform for data sharing among registered members and a mission planner for new data acquisition. To the best of our knowledge, the data carriers described herein, are the first of their kind. Through seamless docking with UAVs, the data carrier will form a national UAV network, capable of dynamically obtaining very-high-resolution UAV remote sensing images. In practice, a pilot retrieval system of UAV meta data has been developed to provide a catalogue of data product services.

摘要

基于无人机的遥感技术是新兴的重要数据源。近来，由于无人机具有更高的可用性和传感器的小型化，其在遥感应用中的使用已迅速增长。在许多本地需求方面，无人机在遥感数据供应方面已超过卫星和飞机。与卫星遥感数据相比，大多数无人机遥感数据的特点是分辨率高，覆盖范围小和异构多源。但是，无人机缺乏统一的时空框架和标准化的数据处理。本文介绍了一种无人机遥感数据载体，可以将其用作在注册成员之间共享数据的电子商务平台以及用于获取新数据的任务计划者。据我们所知，此处描述的数据载体，是同类产品中的第一个。通过与无人机的无缝对接，数据载体将形成一个国家无人机网络，能够动态获取超高分辨率的无人机遥感图像。实际上，已经开发了无人机元数据的飞行员检索系统以提供数据产品服务的目录。
