On 30 April 2021 at 15:27 BJT, a CZ-4C launched the Yaogan34 remote sensing satellite from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre. The optical remote sensing satellite will be used for the survey of land resources, urban planning, the confirmation of land rights, road network design, crop yield estimation, and disaster prevention and reduction. It will also provide information services for the construction of the Belt and Road.

The new FAIR1M (Fine-grAined object recognItion in high-Resolution remote sensing imagery) database of 15,000 high-definition images with 1 million labelled ‘scenes’ and objects can aid AI’s accuracy, such as enabling it to identify not only a plane but its model type. All objects in the FAIR1M dataset are annotated with respect to 5 categories and 37 sub-categories by oriented bounding boxes. Compared with existing detection datasets dedicated to object detection, the FAIR1M dataset is much larger, it provides more rich fine-grained category information, it contains geographic information and it provides better image quality owing to a careful data cleaning procedure. The database was built with funding from the China National Science Foundation and access to the brand-new Gaofen observation satellites (80% of the data) and complemented with Google Earth (20 %). In May, AI researchers from many countries will compete in Beijing for a trophy awarded for satellite image recognition technology, using the FAIR1M database.
