Current status and development of remote sensing technology standardization in China

Remote sensing is an integrated Earth observation technology, and its standardization requires the multi-industry, multi-disciplinary and multi-field joint efforts and coordination. This paper discusses the management mechanism of remote sensing technology standardization, and reviews its current status in China. It's pointed that standardization work of remote sensing technology lags behind the development of remote sensing technology in the whole. Remote sensing technology standardization in China needs to be pushed urgently. Finally, some development suggestions of remote sensing technology standardization on the standard system, the international standardization and the publicizing and implementation of current standards are given.
