林业遥感应用现状与遥感技术发展浅议

This paper reviews the development of remote sensing in China's forestry over the last decade in three aspects of application research, equipments and professional contingents. On the basis of the review some ideas have been put forward:in 1990's the remote sensing projects shall focus on boosting industrial and agricultural production and relevant technical information shall be provided;the research on application shall be strenthened and the results achieved in the scientific research shall be put into production expensively andgreat efforts shall be made to follow closely the process of the world new technological revolution and to promote the commercialization and industrialization of remote sensing technological results.
