panchromatic imagery  

Definición

  • Analog and digital sensors that acquire data from a single broad region of visible light, and sometimes from the adjacent near-infrared and ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, are commonly given the label panchromatic. The name was originally given to black-and-white photographic films that were sensitive to ultraviolet and the entire visible spectrum (pan, meaning “all,” and chromatic, meaning “colors”; both words are of Greek origin), to distinguish them from earlier black-and-white films that were only sensitive to ultraviolet and blue light.
