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.
