Abstract This article is a review of the various methods in use, or under development, to calibrate space-multispectral-imaging-systems in the solar-reflective range. We introduce the subject by distinguishing between absolute and relative calibration, briefly discussing the use of scene and sensor models, and describing five calibration desiderata. We then briefly describe the different types of existing methods, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, making the distinction between: preflight, onboard, and vicarious calibration. The different types of radiometric calibration: absolute, multitemporal, interband, and intersensor are mentioned with their related constraints. Finally, recommendations are made on how to improve these methods so that the scientific community may obtain remote-sensing data of the highest quality.
AbstractList This article is a review of the various methods in use, or under development, to calibrate space-multispectral-imaging-systems in the solar-reflective range. We introduce the subject by distinguishing between absolute and relative calibration, briefly discussing the use of scene and sensor models, and describing five calibration desiderata. We then briefly describe the different types of existing methods, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, making the distinction between: preflight, onboard, and vicarious calibration. The different types of radiometric calibration: absolute, multitemporal, interband, and intersensor are mentioned with their related constraints. Finally, recommendations are made on how to improve these methods so that the scientific community may obtain remote-sensing data of the highest quality.
An overview of instrument models for preflight and in-flight calibration is presented. The latter includes on-board and vicarious calibration, which is discussed in terms of land, cloud, ocean, and also lunar observations. An error analysis of current methods shows that their uncertainties fall in the 2-3 percent range. This level of accuracy is, in some cases, insufficient for the user community, especially for ocean color and some agriculture applications. A unified approach is argued to be necessary; it uses the sun as reference. For all optical sensors, this is appropriate, as they are designed to work in the solar-reflective range. For the unified approach to work, all users have to agree to reference the same exoatmospheric solar spectral irradiance values. With this unified approach, intercalibration of different sensors will be easier, although differences in directional, spectral, and scale-factor effects will still have to be modeled in order to correctly account for the difference in viewing conditions: sun and view angles effects, spectral band differences, and differences in ground resolution.
