Advanced Visible and Near-Infrared Radiometer(AVNIR) is an optical sensor for measuring surface reflectance in 3 visible bands and 1 near-infrared band. The three visible bands are indicated by blue, green and red while the near-infrared band is suitable to observe vegetation. AVNIR has 4 multispectral bands of 16 m resolution and 1 panchromatic band of 8 m resolution. AVNIR scans about 80 km swath width along the cross track, using the large lineararray CCDs [Charged Coupled Devices] with 5, 000 pixels(multispectral band) and 10, 000 pixels(panchromatic band). 2, record 3, English, - advanced%20visible%20and%20near%20infrared%20radiometer
