ArcGIS raster types for Chinese satellite imagery extends the ArcGIS capability of managing and processing remote sensing images for the Chinese satellites.
This extension is compatible with ArcGIS 10.2 and beyond. The extension allows for support with the GF-1, HJ, ZY02C, and ZY3 satellites, which are distributed by China Centre for Resource Satellite Data and Application (CRESDA) and Satellite Surveying and Mapping Application Centre (SASMAC). The plug-in is a free download

GF-1 PMS raster type
Gaofen-1 (GF-1), China’s high-resolution earth observation satellite, was launched in April 2013. The GF-1 PMS raster type allows you to add raster data collected from the GF-1 PMS sensor, which collects panchromatic and multispectral data.

ZY02C HRC raster type
The ZY02C HRC raster type allows you to add raster data collected from the ZY-1 02C satellite.
The ZY02C HRC sensor has two product types:
- Level 1A—This product has had radiometric correction but no geometric correction.
- Level 2A—This product has been radiometric corrected and georeferenced.
