APPLICATION SURVEY FOR IMAGING
SPECTROMETERS
Table 1 below presents a schematic survey of the typical and proven
imaging spectrometer (IS) application categories, and a preliminary
allocation of the useful spectral bands per application. This survey has been
generated under DSS in-house funding, and does neither claim to be
complete, nor to be correct in every aspect. This is the simplified view of an
industrial team, although we attempted to take into account as much as
possible scientific publications and personal contacts with scientists and
operational users.
This survey is kept rather schematic, and does not show major parameters
such as spectral sampling interval, IFOV, swath width etc., which are
summarized below as typical space-borne IS mission requirements.
The main message for us as an industrial team is: A useful IS must cover
the visible (VIS), NIR (near-infrared) and SWIR (short wavelengths IR)
spectrum.
