thermal IR multispectral scanner (TIMS)
Earth science; Remote sensing
Airborne scanner that acquires multispectral images within the 8-to-14mm band of the thermal IR region.
stereopsis
Earth science; Remote sensing
The ability for objects to be perceived in three dimensions as a result of the parallax differences produced by the eye base.
incidence angle
Earth science; Remote sensing
In radar, the angle formed between an imaginary line normal to the surface and another connecting the antenna and the target.
instantaneous field of view (IV)
Earth science; Remote sensing
Solid angle through which a detector is sensitive to radiation. In a scanning system, the solid angle subtended by the detector when the scanning motion is stopped.
analogue image
Earth science; Remote sensing
An image where the continuous variation in the property being sensed is represented by a continuos variation in image tone. In a photograph this is achieved directly by the ...
mixed pixel
Earth science; Remote sensing
A pixel whose DN represents the average energy reflected or emitted by several types of surface present within the area that it represents on the ground; sometimes called a mixel.
