Abstract: Reasonable evaluation of application satisfaction of remote sensing satellites is
crucial for the planning and design of earth observation systems. To deal with this problem,
a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method for remote sensing application satisfaction
is proposed. Based on the remote sensing application of the projects high resolution earth
observation system and space infrastructure planning, a remote sensing application model
is built with four data indicators of space resolution, time resolution, spectral range and
spectral resolution. With the FCE method, a factor set and an evaluation set are designed,
and a series of fuzzy membership function established. By calculating the weight with the
analytical hierarchical process (AHP) method, the final evaluation result is obtained from
a weighted average operator. Comparison between the World Meteorological Organization
(WMO) evaluation cases and the FCE evaluation results shows that using this method to
evaluate remote sensing satellite application satisfaction is feasible.

Key words: remote sensing application, remote sensing satellite, application satisfaction, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, analytical hierarchical process (AHP) method
