Some thoughts on the development of quantitative remote sensing in China
Quantitative remote sensing in China began in the 1980s and has achieved unprecedentedly rapid development in the past decade. Around 2012
China surpassed the United States for the first time and became the country with the most articles of remote sensing published in English in the world. Especially in recent years
the number of articles has been about twice that of the United States. Although China has been at the forefront of the world in the research on inversion methodology and is a large country in quantitative remote sensing
it is not sufficiently powerful on the whole to be in the leading position in the world in most sub-fields. After reviewing the development history of quantitative remote sensing in the world and China
this paper briefly discusses some problems and challenges of quantitative remote sensing in China from eight aspects: data acquisition and pre-processing
forward radiative transfer modeling
inversion
high-level product production
ground observation
cloud platform construction
education and application
Some expectations and preliminary suggestions are also put forward.
