Record 3 2006-02-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
DEF

In remote sensing, refers to an instrument (radar, radiometer, etc) used to obtain images.

CONT

Most instruments that orbit the Earth can produce pictures, but an imager is an instrument designed specifically to do that. Typically it has more spatial resolution than other instruments (that is, it can see smaller features on the surface), and it also collects energy in only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Many imagers have channels in red, green, and blue light, which can be used to reconstruct true color imagery of Earth - as a person would see it. Many also have some other channels, which can be used to produce false color images that bring out specific features of interest.

OBS
