SHIFT: AVIRIS-NG Full-Resolution True Color Images

Metadata Updated: April 9, 2026

This dataset holds full-resolution 3-band (true color) imagery acquired by NASA's Airborne Visible / Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) instrument. This imagery was collected as part of the Surface Biology and Geology High-Frequency Time Series (SHIFT) campaign which occurred during February to May, 2022, with a follow up activity for one week in September. The SHIFT campaign leveraged NASA's AVIRIS-NG facility instrument to collect VSWIR data at approximately a weekly cadence across a broad study area, enabling traceability analyses related to the science value of VSWIR revisits. AVIRIS-NG is a pushbroom spectral mapping system with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), designed and toleranced for high performance spectroscopy. AVIRIS-NG measures radiance at approximately 5-nm intervals in the Visible to Shortwave Infrared (VSWIR) spectral range from 380-2510 nm. The images in this dataset are true color (RGB) images from the wavelengths centered at approximately 808, 658, and 563 nm, subset from the full spectrum collected by AVIRIS-NG. The spatial resolution matches the native observed resolution (variable depending on the flightline, generally finer than 5 m and down to 2 m). There are two files for each flight line, one in PNG and one in georeferenced cloud-optimized GeoTIFF format; the GeoTIFF contains radiance floating point values while the PNG has been scaled and converted to integers.
