Preferred term

spaceborne thermography  

Definition

  • Imaging a portion of a scene’s self-emitted thermal radiant energy from a space-borne platform in one or more spectral bands. Thermal imaging usually uses thermal electromagnetic radiation in the long wavelength infrared (LWIR; 6 μm to 15 μm) and far/extreme-infrared (FIR; 15 μm to 1 mm) regions. As a result, the MWIR to FIR optical region is commonly denoted the thermal region.
