IRS

Since the launch of the Indian Remote Sensing satellites (IRS-1C/1D/P6) the user community has been provided with continuous and high quality data and products. The IRS sensors WiFS, AWiFS, LISS-III and PAN cover the full range of customer requirements from high to medium resolution.

In May 2005 India launched the IRS-P5 Cartosat-1 satellite which is dedicated to stereo viewing for large scale mapping and terrain modelling applications. The IRS-P5 provides high resolution stereo data with a spatial resolution of 2.5m and 10bit quantization. The IRS-P5 Cartosat-1 carries two PAN cameras, which generate stereoscopic image.

IRS PAN / LISS-IV Mono Mode

IRS PAN images with a 5.8 meter resolution provide the perfect balance of detail with a big-picture overview.
They are ideal for use in projects requiring mapping scales up to 1:25,000. In addition, GAF offers 5m merge of the IRS LISS III and PAN sensor.
False colour images as well as pseudo natural colour are available using the synthetic blue band.

IRS LISS-III

Another strength of IRS is the acquisition of IRS LISS-III colour images with a 23 meter resolution.
A synthetic blue band is available to process pseudo-natural colour images. IRS LISS-III data are well suited for agricultural and forestry monitoring tasks.

IRS AWiFS

IRS AWiFS is a wide-area, medium resolution colour earth image acquired by the Advanced Wide-Field Sensor (AWiFS). This imagery is especially useful to land managers who oversee large tracts of land and need up-to-date coverage, particularly in environmental monitoring projects.

IRS WiFS

IRS WiFS is a wide-area, low resolution colour earth image acquired by the Wide-Field Sensor (WiFS). This imagery is especially useful to land managers who oversee large tracts of land and need up-to-date coverage, particularly in environmental monitoring projects.

IRS-P5 Cartosat-1

With 2.5 m resolution and a size of 27 km x 27 km, PAN-Fore and PAN-Aft data products allow the generation of DEMs and the fulfilment of mapping tasks up to 1:12,500 scale.
