Study on the production cost pricing model of quantitative remote sensing products

Since the forming of sustainable business models of remote-sensing products and services will be an inevitable development trend, it is necessary to design the specific and rational pricing model for quantitative remote sensing products (QRSPs). Based on the production procedures, this paper presents a production cost pricing model of QRSPs, to achieve the conversion from abstract factors of production cost to the pricing parameters that can be operated in the actual cost pricing. The pricing model is devised as the addition model so that it can fulfill the diverse acquirements of customized production. The valuation of common products of China Remote Sensing Network indicated that the pricing model could be well-operated in theory.
