5.14. Real-Time Displays and Printers

A very important aspect of remote sensing is the production of data so that operations people can quickly and directly use it. Real-time displays are important so that remote sensor operators can adjust instruments directly in flight and provide information quickly on the location or state of the spill. A major concern of the client is that data be rapidly available [299,300]. An additional concern is that the data from various sensors be available in a combined or fused form [108].
