| Abstract | |
| It is known that earth observation (EO) technology is very important for disaster reduction. And many related international organizations have made their great efforts to reduce disaster losses through EO technology and obtained remarkable benefits. But EO technology often is limited by some factors, such as EO data resolution, EO system recursion period, climate etc., it cannot get satisfied effects for disaster reduction. It is time to consider how to maximize benefits for EO technology to disaster reduction. In China, every space agency wants to make their spatial resources work when severe disaster occurs. As there is no universal mechanism for EO technology to do emergency response and it is also lack of a system to coordinate the spatial resources to acquire EO data of disaster area, the efficiency and result for EO technology to do disaster reduction are not well in previous emergency responses. Chinese government is aware of the problem, and remote sensing action plan for emergency response has been worked up. Meanwhile, a new system of EO technology data sharing for emergency response is developed, supported by Chinese National Science-Technology Support Plan Project, which is called “Aerospace Application Coordination System for Emergency Response and Data Sharing (ArcSer)”. The report introduces the background to develop the system. The idea and consideration to design the system is given and its function in emergency response is described. Then the characteristics of the system are concluded and demonstrated through application cases in emergency response. At last, the system’s future development is discussed briefly. |

He has conducted several intensive researches and has achieved high academic level on these fields including the earth observation technology for ground data processing, the hyper-spectral optical image processing, the three dimensional LiDAR data processing, and the multi-source remote sensing data fusion technology. He is currently the director of the Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the director of the National Technical Committee on Remote Sensing of Standardization Administration of China, the chairman of the experts group for disaster reduction technology, United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, the convenor of the experts group for advanced remote sensing in the earth observation and navigation technology field for the 12th five-year national 863 program. He worked at the ground station for remote sensing satellite, Chinese Academy of Sciences from 1987 to 2003 and was the deputy director during that time. From 2003 to now, he works at the Academy of Opto-Electronics (AOE), Chinese Academy of Sciences and was the vice-president of AOE from 2003 to 2013. He studied and worked at Netherlands and Canada, and has created long-term cooperation with the University of Strasbourg, the Delft University and George Mason University. He is the vice president of the WGCV, CEOS and has cooperative researches with international organizations such as APSCO and UN-SPIDER in program level. His research interests include computer architecture and system software. Kai Lu graduated from the National University of Defense Technology with a Ph.D degree in computer science and technology in 1999. |
