Front Back
Two Scanner Types
Across Track (whiskbroom)
Along Track (Pushbroom)
Across Track Scanning
Whisk Broom
Scan lines at right angle to flight line
2-D
IFOV
Instantaneous Field of View
What is IFOV
Cone angle within which incident energy is focused on the detector
IFOV Equation
D=H'*B
D=diameter of circular ground area
H'= Flying height above terrian
B=IFOV of system (radians)
Where is the IFOV smallest?
At the nadir
What happens to spatial resolution as the scan moves away from the Nadir?
It decreases (the smaller footprint on the ground results in more samples)
What happens to radiometric resolution as the scan moves away from the NAdir?
It increases (A larger IFOV collects more energy)
As spatial resolution decreases....
Radiometric resoltuion increases
Dwell time....
Increases radiometric resolution
Spectral resolution decreases when
Bandwidth increases
Tangential Scale Distrotion occurs
On across track scanners.
