46 Resolution and Storage Requirement Problem: Largest available 2-D array 9k x 9k. Solution: Linear Array Scanners (Line Cameras). 46
47 Linear Array Scanners Digital frame cameras capture images through a single exposure of a two-dimensional CCD array. Linear array scanners capture scenes with large ground coverage and high geometric and radiometric resolutions through multiple exposures of few scan lines along the focal plane. Successive coverage of different areas on the ground is achieved either through: The motion of the imaging platform (push-broom scanners). The motion of the sensor relative to the imaging platform (panoramic scanners). 47

60 Single/Three-Line Push Broom Scanners: Stereo Coverage Stereo coverage can be obtained through: Tilting the sensor across the flight direction (SPOT). The stereo is captured in two different orbits. Problem: Significant time gap between the stereo images (possible variations in the object space and imaging conditions). Tilting the sensor along the flight direction (IKONOS). The stereo is captured along the same orbit. Short time gap between the stereo-images (few seconds). Problem: reduced geometric resolution (scale = f * cos(α) / H). Problem: Non-continuous stereo-coverage. 60
61 Single/Three-Line Push Broom Scanners Stereo Coverage Stereo coverage can be obtained through: Implementing more than one scan line in the focal plane (MOMS & ADS 40). The stereo images are captured along the same flight line. For three-line scanners, triple coverage is possible. Short time gap between the stereo images (few seconds). Continuous stereo/triple coverage. Same geometric resolution (scale = f/h). Problem: Reduced radiometric quality for the forward and backward looking scanners (quality degrades as we move away from the camera optical axis). 61

79 Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) Operational Principles 79
80 LIDAR Operational Principles The LIDAR instrument transmits light out to a target. The transmitted light interacts with and is changed by the target. Some of this light is reflected / scattered back to the instrument where it is analyzed. The change in the properties of the light enables some property of the target to be determined. The time for the light to travel out to the target and back to the LIDAR is used to determine the range to the target 80

93 Radio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) Operational Principles 93
94 Distinctive Characteristics of Microwave Capability of penetrating the atmosphere under virtually all conditions. Different view of the environment rough in the visible portion and smooth in the microwave. 94
95 RADAR Wavelengths Band K X C S L P Wavelength (cm)
96 RADAR Wavelengths The division of RADAR spectral bands are entirely arbitrary. The shortest wavelengths are designated K-band. They provide the best radar resolution. They are partially blocked by water vapor and their cloud penetrating capability is limited. They are used by ground-based weather systems to track heavy cloud-cover and storms. Therefore, X-band is typically the shortest wavelength range used for imaging RADAR. 96
97 RADAR Operational Principles Radar transmits a pulse and measures reflected echo (backscatter ) 97
98 RADAR Operational Principles An antenna transmits microwave energy to the ground as a series of pulses. When a pulse strikes an object, it is scattered in all directions. Small portion of the signal (backscatter) is returned to the RADAR and received by the antenna. The strength of the backscatter signal and the transit time from transmission to receipt are recorded. The backscatter amplitudes defines the pixel brightness value. The time delay and known radiation speed are used to derive ranges to ground objects. 98
99 Side Looking RADAR (SLAR) The antenna transmits a fan-shaped beam in a direction orthogonal to the flight direction. The backscatter signals arrive sequentially from objects within the RADAR beam as a function of their range to the antenna. As the radar moves along its flight pass, a different section of ground is illuminated with each transmitted pulse. Since the RADAR motion is continuous, the illumination of the ground forms a series of overlapping scans. 99
100 Operational Principles of SLAR Return signal from house Radar pulse sent from aircraft Return signal from tree Propagation of one radar pulse 100
101 Operational Principles of SLAR Pulse strength High energy output pulse Return form house Return form tree Time Resulting antenna return 101
102 RADAR Reflectivity The following factors will influence the RADAR reflectivity: Collection geometry and topography. Surface roughness Dielectric constant. 102
103 Collection Geometry & Topography Incident angle: The angle between the RADAR line of sight and the normal to the geoid surface. Local incident angle: The angle between the RADAR line of sight and the surface normal. The local incident angle accounts for the influence of the topography. The local incident angle is the major factor affecting the strength of the RADAR return. 103
104 Collection Geometry & Topography The reflectivity decreases as the local incident angle increases since most of the RADAR energy is reflected away from the sensor. An increase in the surface slope increases the strength of the return. This effect is greatest when the normal to slope coincides with the RADAR line of sight. 104
105 Surface Roughness The radar backscatter increases as the roughness increases. A surface is smooth relative to the RADAR energy if its height variation is less than one-eighth of the RADAR wavelength Specular scatter. Specular surfaces reflect RADAR waves away from the antenna. The backscatter is very weak (water bodies appear very dark). Rough surfaces (diffuse reflectors) produce strong backscatter signal. 105
106 Dielectric Constant Dielectric constant is a measure of the reaction of the material to the presence of an electric field. Materials with high dielectric constants are very good reflectors of RADAR energy. Water has a dielectric constant of 80, while the value for dry land surface ranges from 3 to 8. Calm water body is a Specular reflector with a high dielectric constant. It strongly reflects energy away from the antenna (it appears black). 106
107 Dielectric Constant Disturbed water surface (e.g., in a storm)/wave crests provide strong returns and they appear bright. Radar is good for making soil moisture maps. The combination of the high dielectric constant of the water and the surface roughness provided by the soil or vegetation create bright return areas from moist soil. This would not be the case for dry regions. 107
108 Satellite Orbits 108
109 Satellite Orbits: Classification Geostationary (zero inclination) orbits. Geosynchronous orbits Low inclination orbits. Near polar orbits. Sun-synchronous orbits. 109
110 Geostationary Orbits Geostationary satellites enable a quasi-continuous time sampling over certain regions on Earth. These satellites are geosynchronous, meaning their orbits keep them synchronized with Earth rotation. They take 24 hours to complete one orbit. When these satellites orbit above the equator, with zero inclination, they are also geostationary (fixed) relative to a point on the equator. They observe the Earth without any significant relative motion. 110
111 Geostationary Orbits 111
112 Geostationary Orbits There is only one orbit in which a satellite can be geostationary. To have a 24 hour orbital period, they must keep an orbital altitude of 35,780 km (22,234 mi, or about 5.61 Earth radii), which sets their speed at 3.07 km/s (6,868 mph). An equatorial point travels underneath at a speed of about km/s (1,040 mph). 112
113 Geostationary Orbits At this distance, and with a wide field of view (FOV), they see the Earth as a full disk, but the area covered is less than a hemisphere, being about 1/4 th of the planetary surface. This results in a much wider field of view than is possible for polar orbiting satellites. However, the large distance from earth causes geostationary satellites to have much poorer spatial resolution than polar orbiting satellites. 113
114 Field of View: Geostationary Vs. Polar Orbits 114
115 Geostationary Satellites Areas viewed by geostationary meteorological satellites. The solid line shows the limits; a satellite sees nothing outside this area. The dashed line encloses the area of useful data. 115
116 GOES Imagery Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Channel Channel Name Central Wave-length Resolution km E/W x N/S Example Meteorological Applications 1 Visible 0.65 µm 0.57 x 1.00 Produces high resolution black and white photographs of earth and clouds. 2 Shortwave infrared 3.90 µm 2.30 x 8.00 At night, can be used to track lowlevel cloud fields and thus infer nearsurface wind circulation. GOES provides frequent images at five different wavelengths, including a visible wavelength channel and four infrared channels. 116
117 GOES Imagery Channel Channel Name Central Wave-length Resolution km E/W x N/S Example Meteorological Applications 3 Water vapor channel 6.70 µm 2.30 x 8.00 Detects mid- and upper-level water vapor and clouds. Can derive upper-level wind vectors with the winds plotted on the image 4 Window channel µm 2.30 x 4.00 Cloud top temperatures, nighttime tracking of storm systems. 5 Dirty window/ split window IR µm 2.30 x 4.00 Sensitive to low level water vapor. 117
118 Geostationary Orbits: Advantages Large spatial coverage. Five geostationary satellites are enough to cover all of the non-polar regions of the Earth. Permanent visibility of the satellite allows for continuous telecommunications and high rate of observations repetition. Near continuous time sampling - 30 min and 15 min for Meteosat, few minutes for GOES. One ground segment is enough for satellite monitoring. 118
119 Geostationary Orbits: Limitations Polar regions are not observed. Not adequate for very high spatial resolution of the ground. For example, in visible and infrared wavelengths, the resolution could not reasonably be better than 1 km. Active measurements are not feasible at such a distance from the Earth. Some perturbations of the solar electricity power supply to the satellite occur during eclipse phenomena. 119
120 Geostationary Orbits: Applications Meteorology: real time operational survey of the troposphere, cloud systems, sea, and land surface temperatures. Telecommunications: world wide operational telecommunication systems for telephones, TV, and digitized transmission lines. Army: alarm systems - detection of rocket launches. 120
121 Low Inclination Orbits Low Inclination Orbits fall between near polar orbits and geostationary orbits. They have an inclination between 0 degrees (equatorial orbit) and 90 degrees (polar orbit). These orbits may be determined by the region on Earth that is of most interest (i.e., an instrument to study the tropics may be best put on a low inclination satellite), or by the latitude of the launch site. 121
122 Low Inclination Orbits The orbital altitude of these satellites is generally on the order of a few hundred km. The orbital period is on the order of a few hours. These satellites are not sun-synchronous. So they will view a place on Earth at varying times. 122
123 Polar, high inclination, and low inclination satellite orbits 123
124 Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites Due to the rotation of the Earth, it is possible to combine the advantages of low-altitude orbits with global coverage, using near-polar orbiting satellites, which have an orbital plane crossing the poles. These satellites are launched into orbits at high inclinations to the Equator, such that they pass across high latitudes near the poles. Most POES orbits are circular to slightly elliptical at distances ranging from 700 to 1700 km ( mi) from the geoid. At different altitudes they travel at different speeds. 124
125 Near Polar Orbit The ground track of a polar orbiting satellite is displaced to the west after each orbital period, due to the rotation of the Earth. This displacement of longitude is a function of the orbital period (often less than 2 hours for low altitude orbits). 125
126 Near Polar Orbits Map of the ground path of one revolution of a typical near-polar orbiting satellite 126
127 Near Polar Orbits The orbit of a near polar satellite as viewed from a point rotating with the Earth. 127
128 Near Polar Orbits Depending on the ground swath of the satellite, it is possible to adjust the period (by varying the altitude), and thus the longitudinal displacement, in such a way as to ensure the observation of any point on the Earth within a certain time period. Most of the near polar meteorological satellites ensure complete global coverage of the Earth, during one day. 128
129 Ground paths of multiple orbital revolutions during one day for a near-polar orbiting satellite 129
130 Sun-Synchronous Orbiting Satellites Depending on orbital altitudes, angular velocities, and inclinations, polar orbiting satellites can be sunsynchronous. Sun-synchronous satellites cross some reference position (e.g., the equator) at the same local time. This time is usually between mid-morning and midafternoon on the sunlight side of the orbit. Sun-synchronous satellites pass over any given latitude at almost the same local time during each orbital pass. 130
131 Sun-Synchronous Orbiting Satellites This orbital configuration applies to LANDAT, SPOT, and some of the other land observers. In addition, for a given latitude and season, sunsynchronous satellites observe the Earth surface with a nearly constant sunlight ratio. This characteristic is useful for measurements in the visible and thermal wavelengths. 131
132 Sun-Synchronous Orbits Example of the positions of a sun-synchronous satellite in 12 hour intervals. 132
133 Non Sun-Synchronous / Sun-Synchronous Orbits Non sun-synchronous orbit as the Earth revolves around the sun Sun-synchronous satellite orbit as Earth revolves around the sun. 133
134 Sun-Synchronous Orbits: Advantages The low altitude of a sun-synchronous orbit permits good ground resolution. It also enables easier active measurements with RADAR or LIDAR. The circular orbit implies a constant satellite velocity, which is important for having a regular scanning resolution along the satellite ground track. The near polar orbit allows a global coverage for the observation of the whole Earth. Orbit altitudes of between 700 and 900 km permits both a large ground swath, offering a daily global coverage, and a good ground resolution. 134
135 Sun-Synchronous Orbits: Advantages Most of the Earth observing missions use sun-synchronous satellites in low near polar orbits (NOAA polar orbiting meteorological satellites, LANDSAT, SPOT, ERS, etc...). Sun-synchronism produces time-constant illumination conditions of the observed surfaces, except for seasonal variations. This property is useful for many remote-sensing applications in Earth observation. Another property of interest is the nearly constant sunlight ratio of the satellite on each orbit, which implies a near constant solar energy supply for the satellite platform. 135
136 Sun-Synchronous Orbits: Limitations A continuous temporal observation is not possible with only one sun-synchronous satellite. It passes over polar regions on every orbital period, but much more rarely over equatorial regions (2 times a day for most current meteorological satellites; more generally it depends on the drift and the ground swath). A possibility to ease this difficulty could be to use a constellation of satellites. 136

178 Spectral Reflectance Curves 178
179 Radiation Interaction with Targets 179
180 Spectral Response Curves Spectral reflectance is the portion of incident radiation that is reflected by a non-transparent surface. The fraction of energy reflected at a particular wavelength varies for different features. Additionally, the reflectance of features varies at different wavelengths. Thus, two features that are indistinguishable in one spectral range may be very different in another portion of the spectrum. This is an essential property of matter that allows for different features to be identified and separated by their spectral response curves. 180

187 Spectral Reflectance Curves of Plants 187
188 Vegetation Index Healthy vegetation absorbs most of the visible light that hits it, and reflects a large portion of the near-infrared light. Unhealthy or sparse vegetation reflects more visible light and less near-infrared light. Thus, if there is much more reflected radiation in nearinfrared wavelengths than in visible wavelengths, then the vegetation in that pixel is likely to be dense and may contain some type of forest. If there is very little difference in the intensity of visible and near-infrared wavelengths reflected, then the vegetation is probably sparse and may consist of grassland, tundra, or desert. 188
189 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index 189
190 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is defined as follows: NDVI = (NIR VIS)/(NIR + VIS) Calculations of NDVI for a given pixel always result in a number that ranges from minus one (-1) to plus one (+1). No green leaves gives a value close to zero. NDVI close to +1 ( ) indicates the highest possible density of green leaves. 190
