19.3.4. Multispectral and Hyperspectral Cameras

Try these first

1. 1.

   What are multispectral cameras primarily used for?

   Hint

   Think about how the camera captures light reflectance.

2. 2.

   How many spectral bands do multispectral cameras typically capture?

   Hint

   Consider how many specific bands are necessary for effective monitoring.

3. 3.

   What is the primary use of multispectral cameras?

   • Soil analysis
   • Vegetation health monitoring
   • Weather forecasting

   Hint

   Focus on their application in agriculture.

4. 4.

   True or False: Hyperspectral cameras can capture more data than multispectral cameras.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the number of bands.

5. 5.

   How would you assess the impact of agricultural practices over time using both multispectral and hyperspectral imaging? Propose a methodology.

   Hint

   Consider how each type of imaging complements the other.

6. 6.

   Imagine you are tasked with tracking water contamination levels in a local lake. How would you leverage both camera types in your monitoring plan?

   Hint

   Think about the advantages of collecting broad vs. detailed data.
