Evaluating high resolution spot 5 satellite imagery to estimate crop yield.
Spot 5 imagery contains four spectral bands:
Or the merging of two separate images acquired at. The spot 5 (système pour l’observation de la terre or system for earth observation) satellite was launched on 4 may 2002 from the kourou space base. This was designed to improve the knowledge and management of earth's resources, detecting and forecasting phenomena involving climatology and oceanography, and monitoring human activities and natural phenomena. A view of part of the earth taken in one or more spectral bands with a given spatial resolution;
The dynamic range of the data is 8 bits.
5 metres and 2.5 metres (instead of 10 m) in panchromatic mode, higher resolution in multispectral mode: Maintain a high level coverage capability by capturing bandwidth of 60 km and up to 120 km (from…to) in one pass mosaic; Obtain native natural color images by adding a blue near infrared band Satellite pour l’observation de la terre.

It differed from previous spot satellites by better image resolution using high resolution visible and near infrared sensors , the two twinned instruments capturing multispectral images with a resolution of 10 m. High resolution satellite imagery offers new opportunities for crop monitoring and assessment. The spot system was designed by cnes as system prime contractor and built in partnership with astrium and spot image. Spot 5 is the fifth satellite in the spot series, placed into orbit by an ariane launcher.
These three satellite sensors also provide high resolution panchromatic data.
Spot products differ by pixel size (ground sample distance of 2.5 m, 5 m, 10 m or 20 m) and spectral acquisition mode (black and white or colour). One atlas is a satellite image basemap which covers the earth landmasses with professional grade imagery. Today, it is the world's leading civil earth observation system. High resolution satellite imagery offers new opportunities for crop monitoring and assessment.
