Imagery intelligence (IMINT), pronounced as either as Im-Int or I-Mint, is an intelligence gathering discipline wherein imagery is analyzed (or "exploited") to identify information of intelligence value.[1] Imagery used for defense intelligence purposes is generally collected via satellite imagery or aerial photography.
