Development and Significance of Micro-Embedded GIS Software
微型嵌入式GIS软件平台的重要意义及发展动态

Applied embedded techniques grow rapidly in recent years and the relative products can be found anywhere. Embedded computers have been applied in many fields of manufacturing, such as process control, communication, automobile, watercraft, aviation, spaceflight, military equipment and consuming products, etc. It provides us a good chance for the development of micro-embedded GIS software. In this paper, we have made a detailed discussion on the background of techniques and characteristics, perspective of applied development, and state of the art of micro-embedded GIS software. The significance of developing our embedded GIS software and techniques with independent copyrights is also discussed and some suggestions for the development of embedded GIS software are presented.
