巴西航天遥感地质的进展

Development of Safellite Remofe Sensing for Geology in Brazil

在巴西总统访问中国期间的1988年7月6日,中巴两国正式签订了资源卫星合作计划。该计划包括卫星研制与发射,信息接收、处理与应用等技术合作.计划在1992年底,第一颗中巴地球资源卫星(CBERS)进入轨道。值此中巴两国在航天遥感方面携手合作之际,笔者撰写此文,供中国遥感地质界同僚概略了解巴西航天遥感地质概况时参考。

Satellite remote seusing technique has become one of the most important means for natural resources survey in Brazil. The Institute for Space Research of Brazil hosts its satellite data receiving station and conducts basic studies in dijital image processing research for remote sensing geology has been achieved the significant results, which include in the field of regional geology mapping, mineral deposit explozation, rock type recognition, geological structure, geo-tectonics and petrolecun geology studies. Above research activities and results have provided a sound basis for CBERS (China-Brazil Earth Resource Satellite) program, which will be lunched in 1992.
