Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV) or Spatial Resolution is the smallest detail within the FOV that can be detected or seen at a set distance, and Instantaneous Field of View Measurement (IFOV Measurement) establishes the smallest measurable area from which an accurate temperature measurement from set distance can be obtained [29].

Nov 1, 2022 · Among all phasing conditions the one that yields α = IFOV for an ideal staring imager with Q = 0 will be selected, so the GSD metric prediction is obtained in this particular case. An ideal staring imager ( Q = 0) represents a point source in the scene as a geometrical point on the image plane; its optics PSF is an impulse.

Feb 1, 2024 · Imaging lidar is an important sensor for use in vehicle environment perception systems, and its field of view (FOV) and instantaneous field of view (IFOV) determine the system’s spatial coverage and the spatial resolution of detection, respectively. A smaller IFOV indicates that lidar can recognize a target over a greater distance.

In terms of satellite remote sensing the instantaneous FOV (IFOV) angular resolution has a lower limit set by the diffraction limit which is λ/D, where λ is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the first target (lens or in the case of most satellite instruments the primary sensor mirror).

Jul 1, 1999 · The IFOV of the receiving optics must not be smaller than that of the transmitted laser beam. Due to the very narrow IFOV of the laser, the optical beam has to be moved across the flight direction in order to obtain area coverage required for surveying. The second dimension is realised by the forward motion of the airplane (see Fig. 1). Thus ...

Jun 1, 2015 · As the scanning square, IFOV is moving over the ground during the integration period for each pixel, a triangular weighting function is applied to the reflect response such that 25% of the response will relate to an area outside of the nominal 250-m area (Nishihama et al., 1997). The MCD43A1 product for bands 1 and 2 is derived from 500-m ...

Apr 1, 2024 · An IFOV segment corresponds to the photon energy falling on one pixel. The camera's rotation angle during integration time is divided into multiple IFOV segments. The number of IFOV segments camera rotates during integration time corresponds to the pixel spread. The Eq. (4) expresses the pixel spread due to camera rotation during integration time.

Mar 30, 2024 · When it comes to satellite remote sensing, the instantaneous FOV (IFOV) angular resolution is limited to a value determined by the diffraction limit, which is λ/D, where λ is the wavelength, and D is the diameter of the first target (lens or in the case of most satellite instruments the primary sensor mirror).

Apr 1, 2017 · The spectrum of mixed IFOV is a linear combination of the spectrum of the land covers present within the IFOV. A linear spectral unmixing model was used to determine relative abundances of land cover types in the Abu Hamrah al Bahray area using the 7-index image and the land cover type spectral library.

May 15, 2023 · The IFOV map for each detector, with the scanning mirror stationary, was measured during the ground testing of SLSTR before launch with a resolution of 10 ′′ (corresponds to approximately 40 m). The projected footprint depends on both the position and motion of the scanning mirror during the detector integration time for each pixel.
