Chances and Challenges for Development of Surveying and Remote Sensing in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence(AI) will affect various fields and professions. Geoinformatics and remote sensing are closed the field of artificial intelligence. Our discipline will have a good development chance, also face a big challenge. This paper firstly introduces the domain of AI and the fields related geoinformatics and remote sensing, then presents the progresses of photogrammetry and remote sen-sing applications based on computing vision and machine learning. Finally, some research progresses involved perceive and reasoning based on space-time big data have revealed the application prospect in sensing, perceive and reasoning for the nature and society based on space-time data from geoinforma-tics and remote sensing. A desire is to push the quick development of geoinformatics and remote sen-sing in AI era.
