ABSTRACT

Imaging Spectrometers: Operational Considerations The goal of this chapter is to provide the basic background information you will need to design and evaluate the operational aspects of hyperspectral remote sensing projects. If you are familiar with the components of a remote sensing mission, you will be in a better position to assess the utility, value, and accuracy of the data in hand or to be collected. This is a critical aspect of problem solving through remote sensing. This chapter will describe sensors and how they work, clarify common confusions and misconceptions, describe typical sensor system configurations, provide an example mission plan, and discuss workflow considerations.
