SPOT HRV (High Resolution Visible) sensor operates in two modes, namely
the Multispectral Mode and the Panchromatic Mode. Two identical HRV
instruments with 3 VNIR bands and a ground resolution of 20 m can point in
the cross-track direction up to 31 degrees from nadir. The swath width varies
from 60 km (nadir) to 80 km when angled at the maximum limit from nadir.
HRV panchromatic has spectral range between 500 nm and 730 nm (one
channel) and 10 m spatial resolution. This is important in detail in complex
and small region.
Although it has fewer bands but its superior spatial resolution allowing
individual faults and rock layer to be mapped. SPOT images as well as
Landsat is also used to find areas of poor crop development in conjunction
with accurate location information from GPS(Global Positioning Systems). So,
farmer can focus supplying fertilizing activities on these areas only and not
waste fertilizer on ares with good soil.
SPOT has been found to be better than Landsat TM iat defining individuals
field boundaries and small parcels of land of only a few hectares in size. We
can also differentiate between vegetation using SPOT satellite. SPOT also
important in agriculture especially for afforestation or reforestation
protection, crop or plant Yields and forest fires. It also important in studying
atmospheric Phenomenon such as cyclone, storm and hurricane.
