Definition
- The term spectral resolution refers to the number and width of a specific wavelength interval (i.e., band or channel) in the electromagnetic spectrum to which a remote sensing system is sensitive. Spectral resolution describes the ability of a sensor to define the fine wavelength intervals in which electromagnetic energy reflected or emitted from Earth's surface features is recorded.
