Standardization in Geoscience Remote Sensing

The rapid development of new remote sensing technologies and the increased need for access to, and ready utilization of remote sensing products are motivating the development of new technical standards. Standardization benefits research by improving interoperability, helps accelerate the adoption of new methods and technologies, and is vital for the commercialization of new sensors. The GRSS Standards Committee aims to promote a coordinated suite of standards that builds on uniqueness of GRSS expertise. We provide an overview of the GRSS Standards Committee activities and the impacts that the standards we develop are expected to have on science and society.
