“Medicinal plants are the material basis for the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese medicine. Remote sensing technology, as a non-destructive monitoring method, can quickly and systematically obtain large-scale, quantitative, and periodic information. It has been widely used in the production process of traditional Chinese medicine. This article introduces its research progress in the fields of medicinal plant resource investigation, quality analysis, growth status monitoring, and stress monitoring. Experts have established a complementary perception system of satellite, drone, and ground remote sensing data, providing a solution to the problem of insufficient fine management of medicinal plants and opening up new directions for the sustainable development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.”
