Abstract: The field of ecological environment and resource protection is the focus of procuratorial public interest litigation. Outdated technology and hidden illegal acts pose significant challenges to factual determination in related cases. Satellite remote sensing images, with their advantages of wide observation range and strong objectivity, have shown great potential in the field of ecological environment and resource protection, which can help to quickly discover clues in cases and provide robust support for restoring the truth. However, as a new type of scientific and technological evidence, they are still facing challenges in court for recognition and proof thereof. This paper analyzes the mechanism of judicial proof of satellite remote sensing images from the perspective of evidence law, and probes into their legal status as evidence. In order to ensure the legality, authenticity and relevance of satellite remote sensing images as evidence, it is necessary for procuratorial organs to actively use and strictly examine the images, for judicial authorities to maintain an open attitude towards the images, and for technical departments to strengthen research and training. All parties should cooperate to promote the wide application and in-depth development of satellite remote sensing images in forensic practice.

摘要: 生态环境和资源保护领域是检察公益诉讼的重点,落后的证据技术与隐蔽的违法行为导致相关案件的事实认定阻力不小。卫星遥感影像以其观测范围广、客观性强等优势,在生态环境和资源保护领域展现出巨大潜力,有助于快速发现案件线索,为还原事实真相提供有力支持。然而,作为新型科技证据,卫星遥感影像在法庭上的认可度和证明力评判仍面临挑战。从证据法视角分析了卫星遥感影像的司法证明机理,并探讨了其作为证据使用的法定地位。为确保卫星遥感影像作为证据的合法性、真实性和相关性,需要检察机关积极利用并严格审查,审判机关保持开放态度,技术部门加强研究和培训。各方协同配合,推动卫星遥感影像在司法实践中的广泛应用和深入发展。
