What is Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX)?

• A. Adds key details from the onboard visible light camera and overlays that information onto the infrared image in real time.
• B. Filters the infrared spectrum to a single wavelength.
• C. Reduces image resolution for faster processing.
• D. Produces 3D terrain maps.

Answer: (A)

MSX combines infrared data with edge details from the onboard visible-light camera and overlays that information onto the infrared image in real time. This fusion adds recognizable details—like lines and textures from the visible spectrum—to the thermal image, making features such as edges, materials, and structural elements easier to interpret even when temperature differences are subtle. It doesn’t filter the infrared to a single wavelength, nor does it reduce resolution or create 3D terrain maps; instead, it enriches the thermal image with visible-edge cues to aid quick and accurate assessment.
