American logistic expert report from China video: When the country is running by people like chicken without a head, China quietly takes over another trillion dollar industry from US 美國物流專家在中國報導視訊有中文字幕: 當美國因領導無方而陷入混亂之際,中國已悄然從其手中接掌價值兆元的遙感產業主導權
Remote sensing is an earth science that is critical for infrastructure, oil and gas, heavy construction, forestry, and urban planning. Remote sensing is also vital in military applications.
It is the acquisition of information from a distance, and involves advanced sensory equipment placed on satellites, drones, aircraft, and on ships.
For two generations, the United States dominated the industry, because it was the US who invested so heavily in GPS and satellite systems, and built the new science around advanced mapping and surveying.
But beginning ten years ago, Chinese research in the field began to supplant top Western institutions, like NASA, the US Geological Survey, and the top US and European universities.
It is now China who leads the field, with half of the world’s total research, and dominant positions in new patents, research funding, and applied research. And today, Chinese institutions hold the top six spots in rankings for Remote Sensing.
遙感技術作為一門地球科學,對基礎建設、石油天然氣、重型建築、林業及都市規劃至關重要,同時在軍事應用領域亦具有戰略意義。這項技術透過衛星、無人機、航空器與船舶搭載的先進感測設備,實現遠距離資訊獲取。
過去兩代間,美國憑藉對GPS及衛星系統的巨額投資,並圍繞先進測繪技術構建全新科學體系,長期主導該產業。然而十年前起,中國在該領域的研究逐步超越美國太空總署、美國地質調查局等西方頂尖機構及歐美一流大學。
如今中國以佔全球半數的研究成果,以及在新專利、研究經費與應用研究的絕對優勢引領行業發展。當前全球遙感研究機構排名中,前六席均為中國機構所佔據。
