SPOT has two HRV push broom scanners that can produce either a panchromatic (a single visible band black and white) with a 10 meter spatial resolution or a multi spectral 3 bands (2 visible, 1 infrared) with a 20 meter spatial resolution.

SPOT-1 carries two identical, high-resolution visible (HRV), pushbroom scanners. Each scanner can operate in one of two modes. In the panchromatic mode, 10-m resolution data can be obtained. This single band records visible energy ranging from 0.

Muchoney and Haack (1994) evaluated four change detection approaches using multitemporal SPOT High Resolution Visible (HRV) data, ...
