Abstract :
It is now possible to produce considerable improvement of information for topography, classification of geological materials, discrimination of vegetation and precise image, etc., by decoding the large volume of data being sent back by the recent observations of the LANDSAT TM, SPOT HRV, and JERS-1 OPS. Therefore, future Earth observation sensors must be equipped with high spatial resolution, high enough to be able to draw a map, and high repetitional observability in order to react quickly to phenomena that occur during disasters. The results are presented of a conceptual design of a Very High Resolution Stereoscopic Imager (VHRSI) capable of drawing a map at 1/25,000 scale, another step forward for the investigation of the next generation high resolution visible and near infrared radiometer (S-VNIR). From the investigation of the high quality integrated CCD in a staggered manner and data compression in particular, it is now possible to consider that a radiometer with a 2 meter resolution can be made
