AVNIR-2 stands for Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer Type 2. It is a successor of AVNIR-1 and is one of the three sensors on-board the ALOS satellite; the other two sensors are PRISM and PALSAR. The main improvement in AVNIR-2 over AVNIR-1 is the image resolution. While AVNIR-1 produced 16 meter resolution images, AVNIR-2 is capable of producing 10 meter resolution multi-spectral images.
