Item is a remote-sensing image which is defined as an image
produced by a recording device that is not in physical or
intimate contact with the object under study. This may be a map
or other image that is obtained through various remote sensing
devices such as cameras, computers, lasers, radio frequency
receivers, radar systems, sonar, seismographs, gravimeters,
magnetometers, and scintillation counters.
Character Positions
00 - Category of material
r - Remote-sensing image
01 - Specific material designation
Special class of material, usually the class of physical
object, to which an item belongs..
u - Unspecified
| - No attempt to code

Contains blank (#) or a fill character (|).
03 - Altitude of sensor
General position of the sensor relative to to the object
under study.

for the remote-sensing device. For the purposes of this
data element, "platform" refers to any structure that
serves as a base, not only flat surfaces.
a - Balloon
b - Aircraft--low altitude

g - Land-based remote-sensing device
h - Water surface-based remote-sensing
device
i - Submersible remote-sensing device
n - Not applicable
u - Unknown
z - Other
| - No attempt to code
07 - Platform use category
Primary use intended for the platform specified in 007/06
(Platform construction type).
a - Meteorological
b - Surface observing
c - Space observing
m - Mixed uses
n - Not applicable
u - Unknown
z - Other
| - No attempt to code
08 - Sensor type
For the recording mode of the remote-sensing device,
specifically, whether the sensor is involved in the
creation of the transmission it eventually measures.
a - Active
b - Passive
u - Unknown
z - Other
| - No attempt to code
09-10 - Data type
Spectral, acoustic, or magnetic characteristics of the data
received by the device producing the remote-sensing image.
It can be used to indicate both the wave length of
radiation measured and the type of sensor used to measure
it.
