  3. Mobile mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Mapping

    Mobile mapping is the process of collecting geospatial data from a mobile vehicle, [1] typically fitted with a range of GNSS, photographic, radar, laser, LiDAR or any number of remote sensing systems. Such systems are composed of an integrated array of time synchronised navigation sensors and imaging sensors mounted on a mobile platform. [2]

  4. Whisk broom scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisk_broom_scanner

    It is used for passive remote sensing from space. In a whisk broom sensor, a mirror scans across the satellite’s path (ground track), reflecting light into a single detector which collects data one pixel at a time. The moving parts make this type of sensor expensive and more prone to wearing out, such as in the Landsat 7.

  5. Radio-frequency identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification

    When triggered by an electromagnetic interrogation pulse from a nearby RFID reader device, the tag transmits digital data, usually an identifying inventory number, back to the reader. This number can be used to track inventory goods. [1] Passive tags are powered by energy from the RFID reader's interrogating radio waves. Active tags are powered ...

  6. Hyperspectral imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperspectral_imaging

    Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) devices for spatial scanning obtain slit spectra by projecting a strip of the scene onto a slit and dispersing the slit image with a prism or a grating. These systems have the drawback of having the image analyzed per lines (with a push broom scanner ) and also having some mechanical parts integrated into the optical ...

  7. Push broom scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_broom_scanner

    A push broom scanner, also known as an along-track scanner, is a device for obtaining images with spectroscopic sensors. The scanners are regularly used for passive remote sensing from space, and in spectral analysis on production lines, for example with near-infrared spectroscopy used to identify contaminated food and feed. [1]

    The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is a Japanese remote sensing instrument onboard the Terra satellite launched by NASA in 1999. It has been collecting data since February 2000. ASTER image of Rub' al Khali (Arabia's Empty Quarter)

  9. Meteorological instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_instrumentation

    Each remote sensing instrument collects data about the atmosphere from a remote location and, usually, stores the data where the instrument is located. The most common types of remote sensing are radar, lidar, and satellites (also photogrammetry). The main uses of radar are to collect information concerning the coverage and characteristics of ...
