Introduction to multispectral remote sensing Slides from: Compton Tucker & Michael D. King Outline • Description of numerous kinds of optical systems for the remote sensing of the Earth from space • Cross-track (whiskbroom) scanning systems • Pushbroom scanning systems • Airborne and spaceborne multispectral whiskbroom and pushbroom scanners • MODIS, ETM+ (whiskbroom) • MISR, AirMISR (pushbroom) • Geometric characteristics of cross-track scanners • Hyperspectral scanners • Spectral reflectance of various land ecosystems and surfaces
Cross-track, or Whiskbroom, Multispectral Scanner System Operation

Terra & Aqua • http://terra.nasa.gov/ • 5 instruments • ASTER • CERES • MISR • MODIS • MOPITT
ASTER • The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer obtains high-resolution (15 to 90 square meters per pixel) images of the Earth in 14 different wavelengths (Bands) of the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from visible to thermal infrared light. • Scientists use ASTER data to create detailed maps of land surface temperature, emissivity, reflectance, and elevation. • ASTER is the only high spatial resolution instrument on the Terra platform. ASTER's ability to serve as a 'zoom' lens for the other Terra instruments is particularly important for change detection, calibration/validation and land surface studies
MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) • NASA, Terra & Aqua • launches 1999, 2001 • 705 km polar orbits, descending (10:30 a.m.) & ascending (1:30 p.m.) • Sensor Characteristics • 36 spectral bands (490 detectors) ranging from 0.41 to 14.39 µm • Two-sided paddle wheel scan mirror with 2330 km swath width • Spatial resolutions: • 250 m (bands 1 - 2) • 500 m (bands 3 - 7) • 1000 m (bands 8 - 36) • 2% reflectance calibration accuracy • onboard solar diffuser & solar diffuser stability monitor • 12 bit dynamic range (0-4095)
