MULTISPECTRAL SCANNING SYSTEMS: THEIR FEATURES AND LIMITATIONS

MULTISPECTRAL SENSING IS A SPACE-AGE DEVELOPMENT MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH A NUMBER OF TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS, IMPROVED OPTICAL-MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY, ADVANCES IN SOLID-STATE DETECTORS AND ELECTRONICS, ADVANCES IN DATA HANDLING AND RECORDING TECHNIQUES, AND WIDESPREAD USE OF COMPUTERS. MULTISPECTRAL SENSING HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR SURVEYING LARGE AREAS IN A SHORT TIME AND FOR CLASSIFYING FEATURES AUTOMATICALLY ON THE BASIS OF THEIR SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS.
