In its current state of development the programmable Multispectral Imager offers a number of advantages over conventional forest damage monitoring techniques and instruments. High spectral resolution, digital format, automatic interpretation, computer-generated maps, early detection of damage are examples and it is expected that the imager will be able to generate forest damage maps in real time in the future. (Refs. 1).
