Hyperspectral Instruments Overview

Remote sensing instruments such as hyperspectral imaging allow for continuous sampling of narrow intervals of the electromagnetic spectrum from aircraft and spacecraft. Hyperspectral imaging provides high resolution data but individual spectrometers cannot dwell long enough on targets due to high vehicle speeds. Various instruments like Ikonos, ASTER, AVIRIS, CASI, and AVHRR provide multispectral data across different wavelengths and spatial resolutions to study vegetation, geology, oceans, atmospheres, and other targets at local to continental scales. Hyperspectral instruments provide detailed spectral information for analyzing Earth's surfaces and processes.

HYPERSPECTRAL INSTRUMENTS

Remote Sensing:

Remote sensing is the non-contact recording of information from the


ultraviolet, visible, infrared and microwaves regions of the electromagnetic
spectrum by means of instruments such as, cameras, scanners and lasers
located on platforms such aircraft spacecraft and the analysis of acquired
information by means of visible and digital image processing.
Hyperspectral Imaging

Which is currently coming into its own as a


powerful and versatile means for continuous
sampling of narrow intervals of the spectrum.
Because of the high speeds of air and space
vehicle motion, there was not sufficient time
for a spectrometer to dwell on a small area
of the earth surface or an atmospheric target
MSS Sensors
Ikonos

It is an panchromatic multispectral and satellite borne scanner. It is the


first commercial high resolution satellite, launched by USA in
september 1999. It will have one band panchromatic sensors ranges
from 0.45 to 0.9µm with 1m spatial resolution and multispectral
scanner with 4m resolution. Repeats cycle in approximately 11 days
ASTER (Advanced Space borne thermal emission and reflection
radiometer)

 launched by NASA in 1989


 Multispectral scanner
 It will have 3 band, 6 band and 5 bands
 Swath width is 60km
 Revisits in 16 days
AVIRIS

 Operated by NASA
 It will have 224 bands
 Ranges from 0.40-2.50µm
 Used in ecology, oceanography, geology,
snow hydrology, cloud and atmospheric
studies
CASI (Compact airborne spectrographic imager)

 It is multispectral
 Wavelength 2 to 12nm
 1km swath width
 Used in geology, coastal zones, agriculture,
environmental monitoring
AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)

 Multispectral
 Maintained by NASA
 Band width is 0.58 to 12.50µm
 Swath width is 2700km
 Used in vegetation distribution and
seasonal changes on continent scale
Conclusion

From the studies of hyperspectral


instrument we conclude that we can
view a particular area with a good
manner because of its high resolution
and its band width and swath width.
