SPOT
[satellite imaging] Acronym for Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre. Earth observation satellites developed by Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), the space agency of France.
SPOT
The first SPOT (Systeme Pour I'Observation de la Terre) satellite was launched by France in 1986.
SPOT
Systeme Pair l'Observation de la Terre (SPOT) started in France in 1978. It originated as a commercial program.
SPOT
Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre. A remote sensing satellite which has been developed by the French National Space Centre (CNES).
SPOT (System Proprietaire pour l'Observation de la Terre) - A French satellite system that is capable of capturing stereo images with a 10- to 20-meter resolution.

In 1986, the SPOT 1 satellite provided the first usable elevation data for a sizeable portion of the planet's landmass, using two-passes stereoscopic correlation.
SPOT (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) Series of satellites developed by the French Space Agency, with the cooperation with Belgium and Sweden for the purpose of remotely monitoring resources on the Earth.
Satellite imagery such as Landsat TM and SPOT provide multispectral images of the earth, some containing seven or more bands.
The effectiveness of satellite data for detecting different types of forest change depends to a large extent upon the spatial resolution of the satellite sensor, which can range from 10 m (SPOT panchromatic) to 1 km (NOAA Advanced Very High ...

SPOT satellite image format is supported. Natural source images, such as aerial photos and color satellite images, can be automatically classified or segmented to generate region or boundary maps, all in R2V.
There are numerous satellite data sources such as LANDSAT or SPOT. A new generation of high-resolution satellite data that will increase opportunities and options for GIS database development is becoming available from private sources and national ...

SEASAT, SPOT, and meteorological satellites such as NOAA and GOES). Much of this material is taken from Lillesand and Kiefer (1993), "Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation", and interested readers are referred to this primary source in the field.
Many satellites, like Landsat and SPOT, transmit raster images of the earth's surface. Reflectance at a certain wavelength is measured for each cell in an image.
A standard color display of multispectral image displays three bands, one each for red, green and blue. Satellite imagery such as Landsat TM and SPOT provide multispectral images of the earth, some containing seven or more bands.
Interpreting environmental conditions at, below and above the surface of the earth, typically by processing images from an aircraft (i.e. aerial photography), satellite imaging (ie. SPOT), or radar.
secondary mirror would simply oscilate about the primary optic axis to maintain focus despite vibration inherent from the 14-inch Be scan mirror. This engineering solution allowed the US to develop LANDSAT at least five years ahead of French SPOT ...
