Tablet application for satellite image processing on cloud computing platform

The cloud computing and mobile environments since mid-2000s are regarded as important keywords in ICT fields. Meanwhile, mobile cloud computing is receiving attention in aspect that uses advantage of cloud computing and mobile at the same time. Recently, the service and application in various fields are developed using mobile cloud computing. But in the remote sensing field, the examples of research and development are but little. In this study, the mobile app for satellite image processing was developed using cloud computing, iOS SDK, and various libraries, and is running on tablet PC. The developed mobile app can be one of the examples for using mobile cloud computing in the remote sensing field. Mobile cloud computing is expected to steadily grow. Therefore, the mobile app based on mobile cloud computing in the remote sensing field will require the development.
