2.4 Whiz Quiz

1. Hyperspectral scanners (mentioned in Chapter 2.4) are special multispectral sensors which detect and record radiation in several (perhaps hundreds) of very narrow spectral bands. What would be some of the advantages of these types of sensors? What would be some of the disadvantages?
The answer is ...

2. If the spectral range of the 288 channels of the CASI (Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager) is exactly 0.40 mm to 0.90 mm and each band covers a wavelength of 1.8 nm (nanometres, 10-9 m), will there be any overlap between the bands?
The answer is ...
