Using multiple bands of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, radio waves, etc.). [Return
Is the ability of a remote sensing device to detect electromagnetic energy in at least two or more individual wavelength intervals.
A data product in which the data are binned into as few as two, or as many as approximately fifteen. There is no agreed-upon number of bands which separates multispectral work from hyperspectral work.
Capable of detecting electromagnetic radiation from multiple spectral bands at one time.
Scanner (MSS) A scanner system that simultaneously acquires images of the same scene in various wavelength bands. Landsat MSS was one such system which was operational on Landsat series satellites from 1972-1993. adir The point on the ground vertically beneath the centre of a remote sensing system.
A sensor which can record two or more wavelength bands
Remote sensing in two or more spectral bands.
A term referring to the presence of multiple spectral bands or channels.
Utilizing radiation from several discrete bands of the spectrum simultaneously.
The use of one or more sensors to obtain imagery from different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
