Spectral Signature
Imaging Systems
Many electronic (as opposed to photographic) remote sensors acquire data
using scanning systems, which employ a sensor with a narrow field of view
(i.e. IFOV) that sweeps over the terrain to build up and produce a twodimensional image of the surface.
There are two main modes or methods of scanning employed to acquire
multispectral image data - across-track scanning, and along-track
scanning.

Orbit paths are numbered westward, with path 001 passing through Eastern
Greenland and South America
Image rows are numbered southward beginning at 80 deg. N. Latitude, and with
row 60 being closest to the equator
