A panchromatic image consists of only one band. It is usually displayed as a grey scale image,
i.e. the displayed brightness of a particular pixel is proportional to the pixel digital number which
is related to the intensity of solar radiation reflected by the targets in the pixel and detected by
the detector. Thus, a panchromatic image may be similarly interpreted as a black-and-white
aerial photograph of the area, though at a lower resolution.
