This paper summarizes the main methods of machine learning and its main application direction in remote sensing image. It covers the research and application of machine learning technology in environmental ecological remote sensing, and the new progress in recent years. Through the application of deep learning to snow detection of FY-3C meteorological satellite data, it is shown that the deep learning model can improve the detection accuracy by means of big data advantages, and has achieved better precision than traditional machine learning in some indexes, thus solving some problems that are difficult to solve using traditional machine learning method, and driving the innovation of remote sensing application mode.
