Abstract

Data science and big data have been booming in the past 5years in China. Remote sensing is one of the most important fields using big data. Agriculture is one of the most important and popular fields of remote sensing applications and data science. In the past decade, there have been rapid developments in agricultural remote sensing and data science, in China and all over the world. In this chapter, the research and applications in remote sensing for agriculture and data science in China are reviewed. Substantial progress in agricultural quantitative remote sensing inversion of crop and environmental parameters has been made. Remote sensing applications in cropland classification and crop mapping, crop growth monitoring, and crop yield estimation are widely presented. The operational China's agriculture remote sensing monitoring system is presented as an example to showcase remote sensing applications in agriculture. The second part of the chapter briefly describes the development of data science in China and the status quo of big data applications. Some examples of data science resource sharing and service platforms are also presented.
