Nonphotographic Imaging from Aircraft and Space-borne Platforms

  • Chapter
Environmental Geology

Abstract

Instead of using light-sensitive film, nonphotographic imaging systems detect the incoming electromagnetic (EM) radiation with semiconductor detectors or special antennas. While photography is limited to a spectral range from 0.3 to 0.9 μm, multispectral scanners (MSS) can operate in wavelength regions from 0.3 to approximately 14 um (Lillesand & Kiefer, 1994; Gupta, 2003). This range includes radiation in the near ultraviolet, visible light, near, middle, and thermal infrared (Table 3.1-1). MSS can work in rather narrow spectral bands of a few nanometers. Thus, such remote sensing can focus on specific spectral features to identify detailed physical and chemical characteristics of the land surface objects of interest.
