The rapid accumulation of Earth observation data presents a formidable challenge for the processing capabilities of traditional remote sensing desktop software, particularly when it comes to analyzing expansive geographical areas and prolonged temporal sequences. Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative solution, surmounting the barriers traditionally associated with the management and computation of voluminous datasets. This paper introduces the Analytical Insight of Earth (AI Earth), an innovative remote sensing intelligent computing cloud platform, powered by the robust Alibaba Cloud infrastructure. AI Earth provides an extensive collection of publicly available remote sensing datasets, along with a suite of computational tools powered by a high-performance computing engine. Furthermore, it provides a variety of classic deep learning (DL) models and a novel remote sensing large vision segmentation model tailored to different recognition tasks. The platform enables users to upload their unique samples for model training and to deploy third-party models, thereby increasing the accessibility and openness of DL applications. This platform will facilitate researchers in leveraging remote sensing data for large-scale applied research in areas such as resources, environment, ecology, and climate.
