Spectral imagery provides a new resource in remote sensing, which can be used for defeating camouflage, concealment and detection, as well as terrain categorization. A new sensor, the Night Vision Imaging Spectrometer (NVIS), provides VNIR/SWIR (0.4-2.5 m) spectra, which are used to here to study such applications. NVIS has a nominal GSD of 0.5- 1.5 meters in operational modes utilized for this work, which make the data well suited for ...
