Resolution
Spectral:
portion of the spectrum imaged
Spatial:
smallest ground feature imaging system can detect (pixel resolution)
Radiometric:
how many bits sensor uses to represent pixel values
Temporal:
how often an area is imaged (change detection)
Spectral Resolution
Spectral Resolution
Number and dimension of specific wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum which the sensor collects High spectral resolution - hyperspectral - many small-width bands Low spectral resolution - panchromatic - one large (wide) band
Spatial Resolution
Spatial Resolution
20 m 2m
The ability to distinguish between two closely spaced objects in an image. Minimum distance between two objects that can be resolved by the sensor.
Radiometric Resolution
Radiometric Resolution
Sensitivity of sensor to differences in signal strength (detection of differences in brightness of objects and features)
8 bit = 28 (0 255 values) 10 bit = 210 (0 1023 values) 11 bit = 211 (0 2047 values) 16 bit = 216 (0 65,535 values) 1 byte = 8 bits
4 bit
8 bit
Temporal Resolution
Temporal Resolution How often is your target imaged? Change detection May provide a larger advantage over a single high resolution spatial or spectral image
