SP-399 SKYLAB EREP Investigations
Summary
FIGURE 2-3.-A comparison of spatial
and spectral characteristics of S190B color film and S190A
color-infrared film. This scene, showing the rapidly developing
urbanized corridor between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland,
is representative of the variation in spatial resolution and spectral
sensitivities between Skylab photographic systems for enhancing
particular land use features. For example, urban detail is visible on
the S19OB photograph (fig. 2-3(a)), whereas excellent enhancement of
water features and improved discrimination within forested lands are
provided by the S190A color-infrared photograph (fig. 2-3(b)).
Photographs were taken in August 1973. (a) S190B color photograph
(SL3-83-166). (b) S190A color-infrared photograph
(SL3-15-172).
