Remote sensing data lack a unified standard format

whereas multisource remote sensing products involve a variety of file formats based on the study of remote sensing data formats and the corresponding libraries GDAL

HDF4

HDF5

and NOAA AVHRR 1B format standard from China Meteorological Administration as reference. With the use of a factory model

a multisource remote sensing data format with a unified user interface is designed and implemented to obtain a better data format conversion tool between the Geo TIFF and HDF5 formats. Based on the study of various remote sensing image data file formats

the factory mode can not only shield the user from instantiating the details of different classes but also implement different types of operations to achieve a unified operational view

which is user-friendly. Given the lack of existing remote sensing data format libraries

GDAL

HDF5

and any format library cannot be used to read and write alien data formats consistently. Instead

the factory model is used

different remote sensing data formats are abstracted

and a new top-level architecture DFAL library is designed to solve the problem of reading and writing multisource remote sensing data formats. The multisource remote sensing data abstraction libraries DFAL are integrated into the underlying data IO for the quantitative production of a multisource remote sensing system. More than one multisource quantitative remote sensing production system is tested in the multitask parallel platform. The DFAL library causes no errors

and the usability and usefulness of the DFAL library have been proven. The DFAL library significantly simplifies the algorithm program for multisource quantitative remote sensing production

such as the production of multisource quantitative products mainly involving three different data formats that can be consistently read and written through the DFAL library and the IO code. Only one third of the logical workload is not used in the DFAL library. The multisource remote sensing data format abstraction library DFAL has generated a unified interface. Thus

remote sensing professionals can be liberated of the complex remote sensing data formats and can devote more energy to the study of the ontology of remote sensing. Future work can focus on three aspects of research and expansion

as below:（1） the remote sensing data formats are extended to ensure efficient processing by DFAL

and automatic formats for matching remote sensing data are achieved;（2） the projection transformation between different projections based on the DFAL library is supported

and the cooperative processing of multisource and multi projection data is applied;（3）the read and write operations are supported for multisource remote sensing time series data

which better serve the multisource and long time series applications of remote sensing.
