Advanced Remote Sensing and GNSS for Resource Management

Detector Arrays and Sensor Calibration

1. Pushbroom Architecture: Pushbroom scanners use CCD or CMOS arrays consisting of thousands of detectors aligned perpendicular to the flight direction. Each detector continuously images a specific ground pixel line as the satellite moves forward.

2. Detector Material Types: Silicon CCD is used for visible/NIR (0.4–1.1 µm), InGaAs for SWIR (1–1.7 µm), and Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) for thermal infrared. Each material has a different quantum efficiency
