ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces the proposed cloud-based programme framework, system architectures, business logic and service patterns. It describes the experiments and study cases. The chapter reviews remote sensing products and production system architectures, and related work. However, if the user’s computing capability and/or knowledge on remote sensing are limited, then it would be challenging for such a user to obtain the remote sensing products they need. The architecture of the remote sensing production system in the cloud environment consists of five layers, namely: resources, management, computing, business and service. In addition to the upper and lower hierarchical relationship, we need to consider the input and output of each remote sensing product, so as to construct the production workflow. Hence, the organization of remote sensing production workflow is based on the upper and lower hierarchical relationship database and input/output database. In order to prepare data sources for production, we established a set of inference rules.
