An imaging spectrometer organically combines two-dimensional imaging remote sensing technology with spectrometer technology, enabling it to acquire two-dimensional spatial information while simultaneously performing spectral imaging of the same ground objects. This allows it to obtain spectral information related to the composition of the observed substances for each pixel, making it a spectroscopic imaging instrument that integrates imagery and spectroscopy.

The wide-spectrum imaging spectrometer covers all atmospheric windows in the visible, near-infrared, shortwave infrared, mid-wave infrared, and thermal infrared bands. It features a broad spectral coverage range (0.46～12.5µm) and a wide total field of view.

The wide-spectrum imaging spectrometer is widely applied in various fields, including geological and mineral resource surveys, research on crop growth, classification of land use in suburban areas, petroleum exploration and detection of oil and gas pipeline leaks, monitoring of thermal discharges from nuclear power plants, research on forests and grasslands, marine ecological studies, coastal zone research, and investigations into military targets.
