Il existe deux grands types de capteurs, les passifs et les actifs. Les premiers utilisent des films photographiques avec des caméras à objectifs et filtres multiples [...] Les capteurs à balayage ou scanners [...] captent des informations dans les différentes bandes spectrales du visible et de l'infra-rouge [...] cela recueille ce qui existe déjà en matière de rayonnements, d'où l'épithète "passif".
