Vegetation moisture monitoring The shortwave infrared (SWIR) is capable of sensitive detection of water content in plant leaves. Combined with the calculation of spectral factors and vegetation indices, it provides a comprehensive assessment of crop canopy health, offering more targeted data to support field management.

Camouflage Detection Shortwave infrared (SWIR) can penetrate fog and smoke, with high sensitivity to spectral reflections from different materials. Combined with multispectral and longwave infrared (LWIR) remote sensing bands, it enables the detection of sensitive targets such as camouflage.

Water Environment Monitoring Based on surface water evaluation standards, spectral characteristics are used to construct classification indices. Combined with longwave infrared temperature data, this approach enables the spatial distribution characterization of pollutants such as eutrophication, black and odorous water, thermal discharges, and various household and industrial wastewater. This provides data support for pollution source investigation and water environment assessment.

Emergency Rescue Using the longwave infrared (LWIR) band for precise detection of heat sources, combined with the smoke-penetrating capabilities of shortwave infrared (SWIR), this technology provides imaging support for emergency management tasks such as forest search and rescue and fire monitoring.
