2.1 Existing Multispectral Technology and Its Limitations

Existing multispectral technology, such as multispectral imaging sensors and cameras, capture reflectance information at a limited number of discrete wavelength bands, typically a few to several dozen. These systems are commonly used in remote sensing, mineral exploration, agriculture, and forestry.

While multispectral technology has been successful in many applications, it has several limitations when compared to hyperspectral technology. One of the main limitations is the limited number of wavelength bands, which results in less detailed and accurate spectral information. This can make it more difficult to accurately ...
