description

High resolution thermal infrared remote sensing can have a wide range of applications. In this chapter we describe the different applications and requirements identified after a revision study in the framework of the Fuegosat Synthesis Study (FSS). This project was funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), and the three main objectives were: (i) review of applications and analyses for user requirements, (ii) consolidation of user requirements over a broad range of applications, and (iii) matching of user requirements and industry concepts to identify and outline a set of potential mission scenarios and their corresponding requirements. This chapter focuses on issues (i) and (ii). These objectives were achieved by means of integrated studies within literature and ancillary documentation, and also by consultation of external experts. As a result, more than 30 applications were identified within three different fields: (i) Land and Solid Earth, (ii) Health and Hazards and (iii) Security and Surveillance. A complete set of requirements (spatial, temporal, and radiometric resolution, algorithms used, supporting data, among others) were also provided.
