  29. Detectors • Electro-optical detectors transforms wave energy into electrical energy • The two most common types are thermal and quantum detectors • Thermal detectors rely on the increase in temperature in heat sensitive material due to absorption of incident radiation • Implementations include bolometers and thermocouplers • Thermal detectors are slow, have low sensitivity, and their response is independent of wavelength • Thermal detectors are not commonly used in modern remote sensing systems

  30. Detectors • Quantum detectors use the direct interaction of the incident photons with the detector material, which produces free charge carriers • They are typically classified into three categories: photoemissive, photoconductive, and photovoltaic • Quantum detectors have fast response and high sensitivity, but have a limited spectral response • Quantum detectors are characterized by a parameter

  31. Photoemissive Detectors • In photoemissive detectors, the incident radiation leads to electron emission from a photosensitive intercepting surface • The emitted electrons are accelerated and amplified • These detectors are primarily used at shorter wavelengths, since the incoming photons must have sufficient energy to overcome the binding energy of the electrons • Cesium has a cut-off wavelength of 0.64 microns • Composites, such as silver-oxygen-cesium have longer wavelength (1.25 microns) cut-off wavelength • An example of this type of detector is the Photomultiplier tube (PMT) • Landsat multi-spectral scanner (MSS) used PMT detectors for three of the four bands

  32. Photoconductive Detectors • In photoconductive detectors, photons with incident energy greater than the forbidden band energy gap in the semiconductor material produces free-charge carriers • This causes the resistance of the photosensitive material to vary inversely proportional to the number of incident photons • Exciting electrons across the forbidden band requires substantially less energy than electron emission, and consequently photoconductive detectors can operate at longer wavelengths • Back-biased silicon photodiodes operate in the photoconductive mode • Photodiodes can respond within a few nanoseconds • Landsat MSS band 4 used a photodiode as a detector.

  33. Photovoltaic Detectors • In the case of photovoltaic detectors, the incident energy is focused on a p-n junction, modifying the electrical properties, such as the backward bias current • Unbiased silicon photodiodes operate in the photovoltaic mode • Because this mode has no dark current, it has distinct advantages for low-level dc radiation signals • The photovoltaic response time is typically limited to a few microseconds

  35. Charge Coupled Device (CCD) Detectors • CCD devices control the movement of signal electrons by the application of electric fields • Most CCD devices can operate in either the photoconductive or the photovoltaic modes • In monolithic CCDs the photon detection and multiplexing are performed on the same chip. It is best suited for VLSI technology, and have lower production costs • In hybrid CCDs these operations are performed by two separate chips. Splitting these operations means that each can be optimized separately • CCD detectors are easily integrated into arrays • Most modern remote sensing systems use CCD detectors. Examples include SPOT, MOMS and Galileo

  49. Analysis TechniquesRatio Images • Ratio images are formed by dividing the data value in one band by that of another band • Ratio images are used to emphasize differences in spectral reflectance of materials. For example, vegetation shows a maximum reflectance in TM Band 4 and a lower reflectance in band 2. The ratio image 4/2 enhances the vegetation signature • Ratio images minimize the difference in illumination conditions, and suppress the effects of topography • A disadvantage is that ratio images suppress differences in albedo; materials with different albedos but similar spectral properties may not be distinguishable in ratio images • Another disadvantage is that noise is emphasized in ratio images
