自28年前发射Landsat-1以来，遥感数据一直用于绘制地球表面特征图。越来越多的健康研究利用遥感数据进行监测、监视或风险绘图，特别是病媒传播疾病的监测、监视或风险绘图。几乎所有的研究都使用了大地卫星、法国地球观测系统和美国国家海洋和大气管理局的高级甚高分辨率辐射计的数据。新的传感器系统已在轨道上，或即将发射，其数据可能有助于确定和监测传染病的空间和时间模式。地理信息系统的计算能力和空间建模能力的提高可以将遥感的使用范围从研究界扩大到实际的疾病监测和控制。本文说明了遥感数据如何用于保健应用，并评估了可探测和绘制与病媒传播疾病和其他疾病分布有关的环境变量的地球观测卫星。
Since the launch of Landsat-1 28 years ago, remotely sensed data have been used to map features on the earth's surface. An increasing number of health studies have used remotely sensed data for monitoring, surveillance, or risk mapping, particularly of vector-borne diseases. Nearly all studies used data from Landsat, the French Systeme Pour I'Observation de la Terre, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. New sensor systems are in orbit, or soon to be launched, whose data may prove useful for characterizing and monitoring the spatial and temporal patterns of infectious diseases. Increased computing power and spatial modeling capabilities of geographic information systems could extend the use of remote sensing beyond the research community into operational disease surveillance and control. This article illustrates how remotely sensed data have been used in health applications and assesses earth-observing satellites that could detect and map environmental variables related to the distribution of vector-borne and other diseases.
