English translation:optical detection and monitoring (systems)
Explanation:
I'm assuming this is in the context of data being generated through optical systems or instruments as per the context below:

"随着科学、技术和工程的迅猛发展,近20年来,许多领域(如光学观测、光学监控、健康医护、传感器、用户数据、互联网和金融公司以及供应链系统)都产生了海量的数据"
Ref:http://new.oversea.cnki.net/kcms/detail/detail.aspx?filename...

In a scientific context, "observation" is usually associated with observation by the human naked eye, which I don't think applies in this case. So, detection would be more appropriate and make more sense.

Example of usage below:

"Recently, different organic and inorganic-based composite materials have been prepared for the optical detection and monitoring of diverse"
