"Remote sensing and mapping" or "geospatial data acquisition and analysis" are both commonly used phrases to describe the field of using remote sensing technologies (such as satelptes or aircraft) to collect and analyze geospatial data for mapping purposes.

In Chinese, "测绘遥感" (cè huò yáo gǎn) can be translated as "surveying and mapping remote sensing," with "测绘" (cè huò) referring to surveying and mapping and "遥感" (yáo gǎn) referring to remote sensing.
