Remote Sensing Computing Model for Forest Monitoring in Cloud

Natural resource management deals with managing the way in which people and natural landscapes interact. Recent years have made significant progress in developing and improving technology that provides multiple ways of monitoring natural resources. This paper propose a remote sensing computing model in Cloud environment in order to monitor forests. We tackle the question of creating a monitoring system, using satellites images of forest areas. Furthermore, the paper analyses the performance of current technologies for storage management, automation deployment, system scaling, integration with a public or private cloud. Also, we take into consideration the possibility of parallelizing current algorithms for image processing.
