A CSCW-based interpreting system of remote sensing imagery

Along with the great advancement of remote sensing technology and extensive application of remote sensing information, more and more requirements on capability and efficiency for all kinds of interpreting system of remote sending images come out. The conventional interpreting systems commonly have the operating mode with one single interpreter and an isolated computer. But this conventional mode has a serious immanent limitation due to the isolation of position, personnel, data, software, hardware and so on. This paper provides a CSCW-based interpreting system of remote sensing imagery (RSI) to avoid the limitation from the conventional systems. This new system fully integrates the remote sensing technology and computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) technology, actualizes interpreting of RSI with a synchronized operation for multi-user. Consequently it greatly improves capability, efficiency, and accuracy. The better actual effect proves that interpreting system of RSI is feasible and effective.
