Spatial Resolution
Usually reported as the length of one side of a single pixel
In analog imagery, the dimension (e.g. width) of the smallest object on the ground that can be distinguished in the imagery
Determined by sensor characteristics (for digital imagery), film characteristics (for air photos), field of view, and altitude.

Spectral Resolution
Can be described two ways, but they usually go hand in hand.
How many spectral “bands” an instrument records
How “wide” each band is (the range of wavelengths covered by a single band)
![Page 18: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Spectral resolution
Related to the measured range of EMR
Wide range - coarser resolution
Narrow range - finer resolution
![Page 19: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Case 1
Measure the EMR across a wide range
E.g., a single panchromatic band covering the entire visible portion of the spectrum
Assigns a single DN representing all visible light energy hitting the sensor
Analogous to black and white (panchromatic) film

Group Problem
For your 1 km2 study area, if you use 7 Landsat 8 bands, how many DNs will your computer have to store?
![Page 30: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Radiometric Resolution
How finely does the satellite divide up the
radiance it receives in each band?
How much light does it take to change
the DN from one number to the next?
Usually expressed as number of bits used to store the maximum possible DN value 8 bits = 28 = 256 levels (usually 0 to 255) 16 bits = 216 = 65,536 levels (0 to 65,535)
![Page 31: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
26 = 64 levels (6 bit)
22 = 4 levels (2 bit)
![Page 32: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Radiometric resolution
1 bit ( 0 - 1)
8 bit ( 0 - 255 ) (older Landsats, many others)
16 bit ( 0 - 65,535 ) (Landsat 8)
32 bit ( 0 - 4,294,967,295 ) (uncommon)For an 8-bit satellite:
DN = 0: No EMR or below some minimum
amount of light (threshold)
DN = 255: Max EMR or above some maximum
amount of light
![Page 33: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Radiometric resolution
8 bit data (e.g., Landsat 5) (256 values) Everything will be scaled from 0 – 255 Subtle details may not be represented
16 bit data (e.g., Landsat 8) (65,536 values) Wide range of choices Required storage space will be twice that of 8
bit
![Page 34: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Radiometric Radiation Trade Offs
Data volume
Every 8 bits takes 1 byte to store on
a computer.
One 8-bit DN takes 1 byte
One 16-bit DN takes 2 bytes
Etc.
![Page 35: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Group Problem
If your are using 7-band, 16-bit Landsat 8 data for your 1 km2 area, how many bytes are needed to store your DNs on your computer?
![Page 36: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Calculating Image Size
Computer hard drives store data in “boxes” called bytes (e.g., 1 Mb = 1 million bytes)
1 byte can hold 8 binary (base 2) digits (0s or 1s or some combination of 0s and 1s)
Each “bit” is a single binary digit
An 8-bit number is made of of 8 binary digits and fits into 1 byte.
A 9-bit number won’t fit in 1 byte and requires 2 bytes.

Temporal resolution
Time between two subsequent data
acquisitions for an area
All of the Landsat satellites have a 16-day return time
MODIS has a 1-2 day return time.
![Page 39: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Return Time (Temporal Resolution)
Depends on: Orbital characteristics Swath width Ability to point the sensor
![Page 40: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Orbital Characteristics
• Geosynchronous
• Polar
• Sun synchronous
![Page 41: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Geosynchronous Orbits
Satellite orbits the earth at a rate that allows it to match the earth’s rotation—so the satellite is always over the same place
Narrow range of altitudes—about 35,786 km above the equator.
Useful for communications, weather etc.
Example: GOES satellite (weather) Geosynchronous orbiting earth satellite
![Page 42: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Polar/Sun Synchronous Orbits
Pass roughly over the north and south
poles
Fly over the same place on earth at the
same time of day
Examples: Landsat, AVHRR
Good for land remote sensing
Return time related to spatial resolution,
latitude, swath width, and orbital altitude
![Page 43: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Return Time Trade Offs
Spatial resolution
Viewing geometry effects (off nadir)
Clouds and other atmospheric problems
Lack of archival repeat coverage for
pointable satellites
![Page 44: Resolution Resolution. Landsat ETM+ image Learning Objectives What are the four types of resolution that we must consider with remotely sensed data?](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649cec5503460f949b8d96/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
In summary, choosing a satellite is often an exercise in weighing the relative trade-offs of resolution against data needs (and budgets!).
