Expert Solution
Step 1

Radiometric Resolution: 

  • It is an important part of Remote Sensing and Geospatial Technology. 
  •  Radiometric Resolution determining how much geospatial data and information is received by the sensors of the satellite. 
  • The main purpose of the radiometric resolution of imaging system is to  measure of the sensor ability to discriminate the small differences in the magnitude of the geospatial resolution along the ground area corresponding to single raster cell. 
  •  Radiometric Resolution in remote sensing is used to describe the dynamic range of numbers of bits of the record the emitted electromagnetic energy.
