1. More Image formation

2. Instantaneous field of view and ground resolution GRE = IFOV x H where IFOV is measured in radians H IFOV GRE

3. Total field of view Image width = 2 x tan(TFOV/2) x H where TFOV is measured in degrees H

4. Image scan lines 3512 2 1 4

5. Image pixel array

6. Imaging array concept H

9. Recording of values Energy measurements are converted into 8 or 10 bit for storage and transmission. This has the disadvantage of only recording certain discrete values and introduces ‘quantisation’ errors.

10. Converting data We know all about the sensor from pre-flight calibration So instead of actually finding the energy and then converting we do a straight conversion from the byte value to albedo This will be something like

11. Radiometric resolution 127 19 29 Bit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
