Ⅰ.Introduction
Remote sensing science and technology is developed based on the integration of surveying science, space science, electronic science, geoscience, computer science and other related disciplines. Space-borne or airborne sensors are used to acquire geometrical and physical information about an object or phenomenon without physical contact. Remote sensing science and technology has been widely used in economic construction, social development, national security, and daily life. Therefore, the society has a large demand for the graduates.
