There are several remarkable trends. The first trend is the steadily increasing volume of remotely sensed data, driven by the growing number of satellites with higher spatial and temporal resolutions. For example, DigitalGlobe's satellite fleet currently generates 80TB per day of images. The constellations of smaller satellites, mostly operated by the commercial sector, provide high spatial and temporal resolutions imagery. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), platforms, and associated sensing technologies ...
