Imaging systems for the delineation of spectral properties of geologic materials in the visible and near-infraredThe current status of imaging systems for the identification of the spectral properties of geologic minerals in the visible and near infrared ranges is reviewed. The technical characteristics of the most important instruments are given, including the MSS and TM, the Airborne Imaging Spectrometer, (AIS) the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS), and the Shuttle Imaging Spectrometer Experiment (SISEX). It is pointed out that none of the current systems have sufficient spectral resolution to identify mineralogy on the basis of absorption characteristics in the visible, near-infrared or shortwave-infrared bands. The development of new systems with higher spectral resolution is discussed.
