对地观测传感器

Earth observation sensors measure reflected sunlight, emitted heat, radar echoes and laser returns from orbit. Each sensor type sees some things well and others not at all: optical sensors are blocked by cloud, radar sees through it, thermal sensors measure heat. This page sets out how the main sensor types work, how their resolution and revisit shape what they can detect, and what evidence serves the users choosing data for a task.

02问题

Earth observation sensors: how the risk develops.

Optical, radar, thermal and hyperspectral methods. The dossier below sets out how the risk develops, what is measured, where the data come from, how it is modelled and who decides.

机制

Optical sensors need light and clear skies

Multispectral and hyperspectral sensors measure reflected sunlight in many bands, revealing vegetation, water and materials. Cloud and darkness block them.

机制

Radar sees through cloud

Synthetic aperture radar sends its own microwave pulses and records echoes, day or night and through cloud, sensing surface roughness, moisture and movement.

机制

Resolution trades against coverage

Spatial, spectral and temporal resolution compete. Very high resolution images cover small areas; wide-swath sensors revisit often but see less detail.

机制

Orbits set revisit

Sun-synchronous orbits give consistent lighting; constellations of many small satellites shorten revisit times but vary in calibration.

11核心问题

专家提出的问题。

Remote-sensing scientists approach any application with a set of sensor questions.

  • Which physical property does the question require: reflectance, roughness, moisture, temperature or composition?
  • What spatial, temporal and spectral resolution does the application need, and what trade-offs follow?
  • How are sensors calibrated and cross-calibrated so that records from different missions can be combined?
  • How do clouds, atmosphere, terrain and illumination affect the measurement?
  • When does combining sensors add information, and when does it add error?
12机制与驱动因素

What each sensor sees.

Optical sensors record reflected sunlight in visible and infrared bands, revealing vegetation, water, soils and built surfaces. They need daylight and clear skies. Thermal sensors record emitted heat, useful for surface temperature, fires and urban heat. Synthetic aperture radar sends its own microwave pulses and measures the return, so it works day and night and through cloud; it is sensitive to surface roughness, structure and moisture, and interferometric techniques can measure ground movement of very small magnitude.

Hyperspectral sensors record many narrow bands, allowing identification of minerals, plant stress and water quality, at the cost of large data volumes and often coarser coverage. Every sensor involves trade-offs between spatial detail, revisit frequency, spectral range and swath width. No single sensor answers every question.

13方法与数据

证据如何构建,以及止于何处。

  1. 01

    Radiometric calibration

    Converting raw signals to physical units using onboard references and ground sites, grounded in 物理学. Calibration drifts over a mission’s life.

  2. 02

    Atmospheric correction

    Removing atmospheric effects to estimate surface properties. Errors are largest over water, in haze and in mountainous terrain.

  3. 03

    Radar processing

    Speckle filtering, terrain correction and interferometry, within 地球观测. Interpretation of radar signals needs specialist expertise.

  4. 04

    Sensor fusion

    Combining data from multiple sensors. Mismatched timing and resolution can introduce artefacts.

17问题

问题与解答。

What is the difference between optical and radar satellites?
Optical sensors measure reflected sunlight and need clear skies and daylight; radar sends its own signal and works through cloud and at night.
What does spatial resolution mean?
The size of the smallest area represented by one pixel, which limits the smallest feature a sensor can detect.
Is satellite data free?
Much public data, such as Copernicus and Landsat, is free and open. Commercial very high resolution data usually require purchase and have licence limits.
Why use radar if optical images are easier to interpret?
Because radar sees through cloud and at night, which matters for floods, storms and tropical regions. It also measures properties, such as surface deformation, that optical sensors cannot.
Is higher resolution always better?
No. Finer detail usually means narrower coverage and less frequent revisits. For many questions, frequent moderate-resolution data is more useful than occasional very fine data.
Can records from old and new satellites be compared?
Yes, with cross-calibration. Without it, apparent trends may reflect sensor differences rather than real change.
