Description
Summary:A suite of optical instruments composed of a High Resolution Camera and a Hyperspectral Camera has been identified as candidate sensors for the SkyMED/COSMO optical satellite constellation. A High Resolution Panchromatic and Multispectral Camera (HRC) is designed to provide high spatial resolution panchromatic and multispectral images of the exposed risk area in order to support all phases of the risk management. The HRC is also capable to take a large area of the entire scene with a single pass using a mosaic technique. The Hyperspectral Camera (HYC) is mainly devoted to the water pollution management, vegetation mapping and geological application. These activities are of great importance to assess the vulnerability of the environment during the knowledge and prevention phase of the natural and anthropic risks.
