How Satellite Images differ from Aerial Images Have spectral ranges beyond aerial film Very high perspective Reduces terrain distortion Cover large areas High cost for small area coverage May require specialized image processing Image acquisition must be scheduled days or weeks in advance Follow fixed flight schedules Lower effective resolution

Basic Principles Scanners on satellite operate by pointing detectors at area to be imaged Scanners on satellite operate by pointing detectors at area to be imaged Instantaneous field of view (IFOV) – corresponds to size of area viewed by each detectorInstantaneous field of view (IFOV) – corresponds to size of area viewed by each detector Scanner builds 2D image of surface by recording reflected energy Scanner builds 2D image of surface by recording reflected energy
