| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Subclass of Electro optical sensor that detects and collects all of the data for an image (frame / rectangle) at an instant of time (from 19130)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Subclass of Electro optical sensor that collects a single cross-track image line at one time and constructs a larger image from a set of adjacent lines resulting from the along-track motion of the sensor (from 19130)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Subclass of Electro optical sensor that sweeps a detector forming cross-track image line(s) and constructs a larger image from a set of adjacent lines using the along-track motion of the sensor’s collection platform (source 19130)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;" | <div style="color:#000000;">Imaging radar system that simulates the use of a long physical antenna by collecting multiple returns from each target as the actual antenna moves along the track (source 19130)</div>

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Interferometric SAR that takes advantage of the coherence between the phases of two SAR scenes from the same satellite orbit/geometry. (from 19130-2)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | A radar which permits measurement of the full polarisation signature of every resolution element. (source earth.esa.int)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | A high-resolution real aperture radar (RAR) having antennas aimed to the right or left of the flight path (source earth.esa.int)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Light detection and ranging system consisting of 1) a photon source (frequently, but not necessarily, a laser), 2) a photon detection system, 3) a timing circuit, and 4) optics for both the source and the receiver that uses emitted laser light to measure ranges to and/or properties of solid objects, gases, or particulates in the atmosphere (source 19130)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Range finders Lidars are used to measure the distance from the lidar sensor to a solid or hard target. (from 19130-2)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Differential Absorption lidar (DIAL), used to measure chemical concentrations (such as ozone, water vapour and pollutants) in the atmosphere. (from 19130-2)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Doppler lidar is used to measure the velocity of a target. (from 19130-2)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Lidar using multiple receivers at different locations and triangulating the results allows accurate location of a target in three dimensions. (from 19130-2)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Lidar Used for studies of soft targets. (from 19130-2)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Sound Navigation And Ranging. Sensor that uses sound navigation and ranging technology for sensing (from 19130-2)

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Type of SONAR that produces one narrow SONAR beam directly beneath the transducer /receiver and receives a return echo from the closest object (source 19130-2)

<div style="color:#000000;">is then operated parallel to the water’s surface and orthogonal to the vessel’s direction of travel (source 19130-2)</div>

| style="border:0.75pt solid #000000;padding:0.132cm;color:#000000;" | Type of SONAR that transmits sound energy from the sides of a towfish, creating a fanlike beam on either side that sweeps the seafloor, and continuously records return signals, creating a “picture” of the seafloor and any other objects (source 19130-2)
