Grid computers have rapidly become a very promising commodity computing solution,expected to play a major role in the design of high performance computing systems for remote sensing missions.This paper introduces the Remote Sensing Information Service Grid Node(RSIN) providing remote sensing information service,and develops a method to build an application based on heterogeneous parallel algorithms for quantitative information extraction from remotely sensed images.Experimental results are presented in the context of a realistic application,using real data over land of China.Load balanced performance on Grid platform is discussed using RSIN at Institute of Remote Sensing Applications,Chinese Academy of Sciences.The computational process has been accelerated in an effective way.Using Grid computing platform,wide range and real-time aerosol information can be retrieved.These parts deliver a thoughtful perspective on the potential and challenges of applying Grid computing practices to remote sensing applications.
