尺度是与空间现象有关的术语,在地学研究中更是一个重要的概念。忽视遥感观测的尺度效应,使得对地观测难以获得精确的地表参数。这一问题已经引起国际遥感界的重视。遥感物理建模和遥感数据应用都有尺度问题,像元尺度上地表参数的定量描述是建立遥感尺度转换模型和信息转换模型的基础。试图从尺度的定义、遥感尺度问题所涉及的内容和遥感尺度效应研究常用的技术方法等三个方面论述遥感尺度问题的研究进展,像元尺度上地表参数的定量描述是遥感信息尺度转换的基础。

The concept of scale is applied very broadly, scale is undoubtedly one of the most fundamental aspects of any research. There are four common connotations of scale in geography: cartographic scale or map scale, geographic scale or extent, resolution, and operational scale. Science of scale is considered to seek answers to the following questions. (1)The role of scale in the detection of patterns and processes, and its impact on the modeling; (2) The identification of domains of scale (invariance of scale) and scale thresholds; and (3) scaling, and the implementation of multiscale approaches for analysis and modeling. In context of remote sensing, applicability of some basic physics laws, such as, Helmholtz principle, Beer law, and Planck law, must be examined carefully, due to heterogeneity of pixels. And based on the same reasons, we should not use remote sensing physics models and applied models optionally on any resolutions, while these models are created on one special resolution. Some approaches that are used to examine scale invariance of model have been discussed in the paper. Concepts of spatial autocorrelation and spatial statistics have been introduced as a basis for understanding the effects of scale, wavelets and fractals provide a more comprehensive framework for prediction of scale effects. The quadtree data structures provide a consistent, logical way to multiscale modeling that is well grounded in theory and compatible with many ideas of physical process.
