Intelligent Remote-sensing Information Systems & Applications

IRIS focuses on intelligent remote-sensing perception, information processing, and application services. We connect observation, understanding, and application to address scientific questions, develop data products, and meet real-world needs.

“IRIS” stands for Intelligent Remote-sensing Information Systems & Applications. Our research spans ready-to-use (RTU) remote-sensing products and services, intelligent processing and information mining, remote sensing for human well-being, and remote-sensing big data engineering and applications. We work to advance intelligent, operational, and applied remote-sensing technologies.
