There is a strong rationale for increasing the rate of information return from imaging class experiments aboard both terrestrial and planetary spacecraft. Future imaging systems will be designed with increased spatial resolution, broader spectral range and more spectral channels (or higher spectral resolution). The data rate implied by these improved performance characteristics can be expected to grow more rapidly than the projected telecommunications capability. One solution to this dilemma is the use of improved onboard data processing. The use of onboard classification processing in a multispectral imager can result in orders of magnitude increase in information transfer for very specific types of imaging tasks. Several of these processing functions are included in the conceptual design of an Infrared Multispectral Imager which would map the spatial distribution of characteristic geologic features associated with deposits of economic minerals.
