Remote sensing satellites capture digital images of the Earth from high altitudes and transmit them back to the ground. This is not the end of the work but rather the beginning of the remote sensing digital image processing. Remote sensing digital images are digital representations of different regions and objects on the Earth's surface that reflect or radiate electromagnetic waves of varying wavelengths.
Compared to the electronic photos we usually take, remote sensing satellite image processing techniques offers a broader imaging range and higher resolution. Each pixel corresponds to a real-world object, and depending on the satellite's imaging resolution, a pixel can correspond to a tree, a car, or a window of a building.
Remote sensing satellite image processing techniques utilizes computer image processing systems to perform a series of operations on the pixels in remote sensing images. Although remote sensing images contain a wealth of information, they need to undergo digital processing to be effectively analyzed and have their content extracted. Therefore, the process of remote sensing satellite image processing techniques includes steps such as image correction, image enhancement, and information extraction. Image correction aims to restore and reconstruct the image, image enhancement aims to improve the quality and readability of the image, and information extraction involves determining the extraction rules for different objects' information based on spectral and geometric features and extracting various useful object information from the corrected remote sensing data.
In the process of satellite data management, commonly used functions include data storage and management, image preprocessing, image enhancement and transformation, classification, and feature extraction. Data storage and management involve the storage management, reading, display, and conversion output of different image data obtained by different sensors. Image preprocessing includes radiometric correction and geometric correction to eliminate system and random radiometric distortions or deformations in the image. Image enhancement and transformation include image fusion, color synthesis, and density segmentation, which are used to enhance the quality and readability of the image. Classification and feature extraction include supervised classification and unsupervised classification, which are used to classify image pixels into different categories based on their properties and extract object information.
Remote sensing satellite image processing techniques is undergoing transformative development. With the advent of the big data era, remote sensing data processing is developing towards real-time, standardized, large-scale, and automated directions. The application of algorithms and artificial intelligence has made remote sensing data processing more efficient, addressing issues such as long data distribution cycles, multi-processing steps, and the precision and consistency of massive data processing. This trend of automated batch processing will bring more refined application data products suitable for various vertical segments to the remote sensing industry and improve interpretation efficiency, forming intelligent information mining mechanisms.
In summary, remote sensing satellite image processing techniques is a crucial technology in the remote sensing industry chain. Its development trend is to standardize the processes of data acquisition, processing, and sharing, realize large-scale, automated, and streamlined remote sensing technology industry, and play a driving role in the digital transformation of governments and enterprises, meeting the challenges of the spatiotemporal big data era.
