What kind of raster examples include satellite images?

Satellite images are typically composed of data collected across multiple wavelengths, which makes them multiband rasters. Each band in a multiband raster represents a specific range of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing for the capture of various features and attributes of the Earth's surface. For example, in a typical satellite image, one band may capture visible light, while others might pick up infrared or thermal data. This capability to gather multiple types of spectral information enhances analysis options, such as vegetation health assessment, land cover classification, and water body identification.

The other options do not fit the context of satellite imagery: single band rasters represent data from only one spectral band and are less informative than multiband rasters. Raster pyramids are used to improve the performance of displaying large raster datasets at various zoom levels but do not pertain to the type of data captured. Discrete rasters contain categorical data and are often used for phenomena such as land use or soil type, lacking the continuous and spectral richness that satellite images provide.
