IMINT relies on which type of data to collect information?

Explanation:
IMINT, or imagery intelligence, relies on imagery data produced by cameras and sensors. The primary data type is satellite imagery and other images captured from space or air platforms—such as aerial photos and drone imagery—in various spectra (visible, infrared, multispectral, radar). Analysts study these images to identify objects, facilities, activities, and changes over time, and to precisely locate findings on the map. This is distinct from SIGINT (intercepted communications) and HUMINT (human sources) or OSINT (open-source/public records), which gather information in different ways.
