3.1.2 Airborne Pushbroom Line Scanners
There are two main groups of airborne pushbroom line scanners:
Simple monochrome scanners equipped with a single CCD linear array
producing a continuous strip image of the terrain and mainly used for military
reconnaissance; simple colour scanners utilize a tri-linear CCDs which are
3xN arrays, in which different filter are reported for each line (R, G and B);
Three-line scanners that generate overlapping forward-pointing, nadir-
pointing and backward-pointing strip images that allow the production of
three-dimensional stereo models, DEMs and ortho-images for mapping
purposes.
