Satellite image processing involves correcting satellite images for defects, overlaying the 2D images onto a 3D model of Earth, and applying the images for scientific and practical uses. Early satellite photographs from the 1940s and 1950s provided initial images of Earth and the Moon. Modern satellite image processing utilizes large amounts of data from numerous sensors and satellites to monitor the planet. Cloud computing provides advanced infrastructure for processing large satellite images, performing corrections, and generating meaningful results through on-demand public and private cloud resources.

processing
INTRODUCTION
Satellite imagery includes photographs of the earth taken
through an artificial satellite revolving around the earth. The
process of correcting these satellite images for haze, cloud and
sensor induced defects within satellite image and overlaying
the 2D satellite image on 3D surface of the earth is called
satellite image processing.
2. Geoscience:Satellite Image
processing
Processed satellite images have different
scientific and need based applications in the field
of agriculture, geology, forestry, biodiversity
conservation, regional planning, education,
intelligence and warfare.
HISTORYThe first images from space were
taken on sub-orbital flights. The U.S-launched V-
2 flight on October 24, 1946 took one image
every 1.5 seconds.
The first satellite (orbital) photographs of Earth
were made on August 14, 1959 by the
U.S. Explorer 6. The first satellite photographs of
the Moon might have been made on October 6,
1959 by the Soviet satellite Luna 3, on a mission
3. Geoscience:Satellite Image processing
These type of applications collects, Produce and
analyze a huge amount of data.
By Deploying the sensor and satellites for monitoring
the technology our planet will become more
instrumented.
Due to the development of geological information
system is a major implementation in the field of
geological science.
The GIS applications can process all types of
geographically referenced data.
This information is useful for for civil security purpose
4. Geoscience:Satellite Image
processing Cloud computing is an advancement for these kind of application for
generating meaningful result.
The satellite image sensing generates a lot of raw images
that needs to be processed further.
This requires the high computation in both Input and Output manner.
The large size images can be transferred from the local ground station
to cloud computing facilities for further solution and corrections.
The cloud computing will provide an accurate infrastructure for these
kind of services.
5. Geoscience:Satellite Image

Archiving
Private cloud Public cloud
6. Geoscience:Satellite Image
processing The following fig states that different types of
technologies are integrated in entire computing
environment.
The SAAS service consists the collection of services
for geo code generation and data visualization.
Aneka controls the Sending and receiving of data in
the infrastructure.
And the processing of these image processing tasks
produced the desired outcome from the raw satellite
images.
The public and private cloud will provide the
resources on-demand.
