What resolution is SENTINEL-2 imagery?
12-bit
The radiometric resolution of Sentinel-2 is 12-bit. This gives a potential range of brightness levels from 0 – 4 095.
At which spatial resolution does SENTINEL-2 MSI collect the data?
The MSI measures reflected radiance through the atmosphere within 13 spectral bands. The spatial resolution is dependent on the particular spectral band: 4 bands at 10 meter: blue (490 nm), green (560 nm), red (665 nm), and near-infrared (842 nm).
Which is the spatial resolution band of Sentinel-2?
The spatial resolution of SENTINEL-2 is dependent on the particular spectral band: Figure 1: SENTINEL-2 10 m spatial resolution bands: B2 (490 nm), B3 (560 nm), B4 (665 nm) and B8 (842 nm) Figure 2: SENTINEL-2 20 m spatial resolution bands: B5 (705 nm), B6 (740 nm), B7 (783 nm), B8a (865 nm), B11 (1610 nm) and B12 (2190 nm)
What are the radiometric characteristics of Sentinel 2?
Radiometric Characteristics: The Sentinel-2A data has spectral bands very similar to Landsat 8 (excluding the thermal bands of Landsat 8’s Thermal Infrared Sensor). The specific placement of the Sentinel-2A bands, as compared to Landsat 7 and 8 bands, can be seen in the graphic below.
What kind of satellite is the Sentinel 2?
About Sentinel-2. SENTINEL-2, launched as part of the European Commission’s Copernicus program on June 23, 2015, was designed specifically to deliver a wealth of data and imagery. The satellite is equipped with an opto-electronic multispectral sensor for surveying with a sentinel-2 resolution of 10 to 60 m in the visible, near infrared (VNIR),
How many bands in the S2 multispectral instrument?
The S2 multispectral instrument (MSI) includes 13 bands, which are captured at different spatial resolutions. S2 Super-resolution creates a 10 m resolution band for all the existing spectral bands with 20 m and 60 m using a trained convolutional neural network.
