Establishing cloud platform with information service and field monitoring for remote sensing of agriculture situation

ObjectiveA cloud platform with information service and field monitoring for remote sensing of agricul-ture situation was designed. The could platform implemented the required functionalities such as space display with dy-namic visualization and statistical analysis of remote sensing product data of agriculture situation,and field data collec-tion,in order to provide data and technical support for assistance to remote sensing image interpretation,accuracy test of product and relevant decisions of agricultural sector.MethodThe cloud platform adopted service-oriented architecture (SOA)with B/S and C/S mixed mode,combined with key technologies such as the technology of GIS,cloud computing and mobile internet. Based on ArcGIS Server,JS API,offline map package and development of uniform data access inter-face,the cloud platform could provide users Web,integrated mobile terminal and on-demand sharing services of remote sensing application.ResultThe cloud platform can realize functionalities such as automatic service publication,space in-quiring orientation,statistical analysis,offline map download and field data collection based on the integrated database of remote sensing of agriculture situation. Since the platform was launched in 2015,the cloud platform has been meeting the requirements for effective management of remote sensing product of agriculture situation,field data verification,positio-ning and collection of agriculture situation data.SuggestionWhile meeting existing business requirement,the cloud plat-form should develop multi-terminal,intelligent,convenient and lightweight information application mode. It should also provide on-demand,one-stop and meticulous online service for agricultural managers in different levels at any time by using intelligent terminals.
