SWIRvahemikke
SWIRvahemikke refers to the Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectral region typically spans wavelengths from 0.9 micrometers (µm) to 2.5 µm. It is located between the near-infrared (NIR) and the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) regions. The SWIR spectrum is particularly useful for remote sensing applications because many natural and man-made materials exhibit unique spectral signatures within this range. These signatures are influenced by factors such as molecular composition, moisture content, and surface properties.
SWIR imaging is employed across a variety of fields. In agriculture, it aids in assessing crop health,
