ALOS Imagery at RESTEC
The GLCF is pleased to promote use of quality satellite imagery from the ALOS sensors. Our colleagues at the Remote Sensing Technology Center (RESTEC) have made a small number of ALOS imagery available through their agreement with the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA). ALOS has three sensors capturing well documented, high precision, Earth observation imagery: PRISM, PALSAR and AVNIR-2. PRISM imagery is a 2.5m resolution panchromatic sensor with three cameras to collect a forward, nadir and backward acquisition; a very effective system for stereo mapping. PALSAR is an L-band SAR instrument, capturing small to large swaths, depending on scan mode. AVNIR-2 is a 10m resolution multispectral sensor, providing four bands from blue to NIR.
Use RESTEC's online archive search interface, called CROSS, to locate and order ALOS imagery.
