Abstract :
Reports results from a research project that is focussed on an airborne multispectral imaging system for efficiently deriving high spatial resolution information on changing environmental conditions of land surfaces. Specifically under analysis is a commercial system operated by Positive Systems, Inc. (PSI) called the Airborne Data Acquisition and Registration (ADAR). ADAR is based on the integration of multiple digital cameras, a Global Positioning System (GPS), and an in-flight computer. ADAR data acquired in a sensor test laboratory and over coastal marshes are analyzed. Radiometric characteristics and processing requirements are emphasized
