Remote sensing technique in environmental monitoring and protection and development prospects in the application
since the nineteen eighties, the information technology of remote sensing in the fields of environmental protection has gained great development. Information technology of remote sensing in environmental protection research scope, content and method of the important changes, marking the environmental information acquisition and processing method of a revolution. Environmental pollution monitoring using remote sensing technique has wide monitoring range, fast speed, low cost, and convenient for long-term ambulatory monitoring and other advantages, is the realization of macroscopical, rapid, continuous, dynamic monitoring of environmental pollution effectively. This article has first analyzed the remote sensing monitoring technology concept, basic principle, system composition and characteristics, and then introduces this technology in all kinds of environmental pollution monitoring application situation, finally has analyzed our country environmental pollution remote sensing monitoring technology development trend.
