1 NON-PHOTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS: Multispectral Scanners Medium and coarse resolution sensor comparisons: Landsat, SPOT, AVHRR and MODIS
2 CLASSIFICATION OF NONPHOTOGRAPHIC REMOTE SENSORS PASSIVE ACTIVE DIGITAL CAMERA VIDEO CAMERA MULTI- SPECTRAL SCANNERS MICROWAVE SAR LASER THERMAL (e.g. TIMS) VISIBLE & NIR HYPERSPECTRAL (e.g. AVIRIS) ACROSS TRACK (sweep) e.g. Landsat, AVHRR ALONG TRACK (push) e.g. SPOT
3 ACROSS-TRACK / MULTISPECTRAL SCANNING OPERATION scan angle (IFOV) An oscillating mirror scans across the terrain at right angles to the flight path mirrors direct the radiation from the IFOV to spectrum-separating devices which divide the signal into discrete bands or channels the signal from each band is focused on detector elements that transform the radiation into an electrical signal, which is recorded and stored digitally scan lines pixel
4 ALONG-TRACK SCANNING OPERATION linear array of CCDs scan perpendicular to the flight line (no mirrors) each CCD senses energy from a single ground resolution cell (pixel) each spectral band (channel) requires its own CCD array each scan line is viewed by all channel arrays simultaneously
5 NON-PHOTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS Advantages of along-track scanners linear arrays afford longer residence time for which to measure energy from each ground resolution cell, resulting in a stronger signal fixed relationship of CCDs along each scan line results in improved geometric integrity CCDs small in size and require less power for operation w/o moving parts (e.g. oscillating mirrors), a linear array system has a higher reliability and longer life expectancy
6 LANDSAT PROGRAM (USA) The Landsat Concept (emerged in late 1960s) Launch a dedicated, unmanned land-observing satellite to collect, archive and distribute remotely sensed data to users in agriculture, forestry, environmental science, geology, land cover/use, water resources, and marine science. History Landsat-1 launched in July, 1972 Landsats 1-3 carried RBV and MSS sensor Landsat-4, launched 1982, carried new Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor, Landsat 5 also carries TM. Landsat 5 recently decommissioned (November 2012) Landsat 6 launch failed Landsat-7, with Enhanced TM sensor, launched April 1999, but developed a line scan anomaly problem that compromised the data and made it unusable for most users Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) launched February 2013
7 TM Bands: Wavelength (mm) TM scene: bands 4,5,3 color composite (Sioux Falls, SD) 8 bit data (0-255 DNs) data strips framed into a 185x185 km scene 30m ground resolution per pixel with non-thermal detectors (120m for thermal band 6) Landsat 8 OLI bands are similar to Landsat TM except two visible blue bands so band 1 TM is band 2 OLI, TM 3 is OLI 4, etc.
8 LANDSAT TM: sensor applications OLI band TM Band Wavelength Range (mm) Spectral Region Applications Blue water penetration, coastal mapping, soil/veg. discrimination, cultural feature ID Green Chlorophyll reflection band (peak green reflectance of veg.), veg. ID and vigor, cultural feature ID Red Chlorophyll absorption band (Vegetation discrimination), cultural feature ID Near IR Veg. types, plant stress, biomass content, soil mositure discrimination, water delineation Mid-IR Soil and veg. moisture content, clouds vs. snow Thermal IR Vegetation stress, soil mositure discrimination, thermal mapping Mid-IR Veg. moisture content, rock and mineral discrimination
