OSMI(Ocean Scanning Multi-Spectral Imager) raw image data(Level 0) were acquired and radiometrically corrected. We have applied two methods, using solar & dark calibration data from OSMI sensor and comparing with the SeaWiFS data, to the radiometric correction of OSMI raw image data. First, we could get the values of the gain and the offset for each pixel and each band from comparing the solar & dark calibration data with the solar input radiance values, calculated from the transmittance, BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) and the solar incidence angle($\beta$, $\theta$) of OSMI sensor. Applying this calibration data to OSMI raw image data, we got the two odd results, the lower value of the radiometric corrected image data than the expected value, and the Venetian Blind Effect in the radiometric corrected image data. Second, we could get the reasonable results from comparing OSMI raw image data with the SeaWiFS data, and get a new problem of OSMI sensor.

KOMPSAT-2, the first Korean high resolution earth observing satellite, continuously acquires high resolution images since July 2006. The quality of satellite images should be geometrically and radiometrically ensured before distribution to users. This study focused on absolute radiometric calibration which is a prerequisite procedure to ensure the radiometric quality of optical satellite images. In this study, we performed reflectance-based vicarious calibration methods on several uniform targets collected through several field campaigns in 2007. The radiative transfer model, MODTRAN, was used to estimate the amount of energy received at the sensor. The energy reached at the sensor are affected by several factors such as reflectance of targets, atmospheric condition, geometry condition between Sun and the sensor, etc. This study proposes the absolute radiometric calibration coefficients of KOMPSAT-2 MSC images combining several types of collected data through field works and tried to compare dynamic range of sensor-detected energy with other commercial high resolution sensors.

Ocean Scanning Multispectral Imager (OSMI) is a payload on the Korean Multi-purpose SATellite (KOMPSAT) to perform worldwide ocean color monitoring for the study of biological oceanography KOMPSAT will be launched in the middle of November this year. The radiometric performance of OSMI is analyzed for various gain settings in the viewpoint of the instrument developer for OSMI calibration and application based on its ground performance measurement data for 8 primary spectral bands of OSMI. The radiometric response linearity and dynamic range are analyzed for the image radiometric calibration and the estimation of OSMI image quality for the ocean remote sensing area. The dynamic range is compared with the nominal input radiance for the ocean and the land. The noise equivalent radiance (NER) corresponding to the instrument radiometric noise is compared with the radiometric resolution of signal digitization (1-count equivalent radiance). The best gain setting of OSMI for ocean monitoring is recommended. This analysis is considered to be useful for the OSMI mission and operation planning, the OSMI image data calibration, and users' understanding about OSMI image quality.

Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) is under development to provide a monitoring of oceancolor around the Korean Peninsula from geostationary platforms. It is planned to be loaded on Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) of Korea. In this paper radiometric calibration concept of the GOCI is introduced. The GOCI radiometric response is modeled as a nonlinear system in order to reflect a nonlinear characteristic of detector. In this paper estimation approaches for radiometric parameters of GOCI model are discussed. For the GOCI, the offset signal depends on each spectral channel because dark current offset signal is a function of integration time which is different from channel to channel. The offset parameter can be estimated by using offset signal measurements for two integration time setting is described.

Since well-calibrated satellite data is critical for their applications, calibration and validation of COMS science data was one of the key activities during the IOT. COMS MI radiometric calibration process was divided into two phases according to the out-gassing of the sensor: calibrations of the visible (VI) and infrared (IR) channels. Different from the VIS calibration, the calibration steps for the IR channels followed additional processes to secure their radiometric performances. Primary calibration steps of the IR were scan mirror emissivity correction, midnight effect compensation, slope averaging and 1/f noise compensation after a nominal calibration. First, the scan mirror emissivity correction was conducted to compensate the variability of the scan mirror emissivity driven by the coating material on the scan mirror. Second, the midnight effect correction was performed to remove unreasonable high spikes of the slope values caused by the excessive radiative sources during the local midnight. After these steps, the residual (difference between the previous slope and the given slope) was filtered by a smoothing routine to eliminate the remnant random noises. The 1/f noise compensation was also carried out to filter out the lower frequency noises caused from the electronics in the Imager. With through calibration processes during the entire IOT period, the calibrated IR data showed excellent performances.

The radiometric correction is prerequisite to derive both land and ocean surface properties from optical remote sensing data. Radiometric calibration of remotely sensed data has traditionally been accomplished by means of vicarious ground calibration techniques. The purpose of this study is to calibrate the radiometric characteristic of Airborne Multispectral Scanner (AMS) by field campaign. In order to calibrate the AMS data, four different spectral tarps which are 3.5%, 23%, 35%, and 53% were validated by GER-3700 that is the surface reflectance measurement equipment and were utilized. After validation of the spectral tarps, each reflectance from the spectral tarps was compared with Digital Number (DN) value of AMS. There was very high correlation between tarp reflectance and DN value of AMS so that radiometric calibration of AMS data has been accomplished by those results. The calibrated AMS data were validated with in-situ measured reflectance data from artificial and natural target. Also QuickBird image data were used for verifying the results of AMS radiometric calibration. This presentation discusses the results of the above tests.

In this paper, we proposed real-time relative radiometric calibration processing method for SWIR(Short Wavelength Infra-Red) sensor using 'Hyper-Spectral Imager'. Until now domestic research for Hyper-Spectral Imager has been performing with foreign sensor device. So we have been studying hyper spectral sensor device to meet domestic requirement, especially military purpose. To improve detection & identify capability in 'Hyper-Spectral Imager', it is necessary to expend sensing wavelength from visual and NIR(Near Infra-Red) to SWIR. We aimed to design real-time processor for SWIR sensor which can control the sensor ROIC(Read-Out IC) and process calibrate the image. To build Hyper-Spectral sensor device, we will review the SWIR sensor and its signal processing board. And we will analyze relative radiometric calibration processing method and result. We will explain several SWIR sensors, our target sensor and its control method, steps for acquisition of reference images and processing result.

절대복사검보정은 위성 센서에서 얻은 전자기 신호의 물리량 변환을 위해 절대복사보정 계수를 결정하는 작업으로 위성 데이터의 정확도 개선 및 다른 위성 데이터와의 비교 및 통합을 위해 수행되어야 한다. 또한, 위성 센서는 시간에 따른 센서 노후화나 환경 조건의 영향을 받아 초기 설정된 보정 계수가 변화할 수 있으므로 주기적으로 이러한 변화를 모니터링 하는 것이 필수적이다. 이 연구에서는 차세대중형위성 1호(CAS500-1)의 다중 분광 채널에 대한 vicarious calibration을 수행하기 위해 필드 캠페인을 수행하였다. 구름이 없는 맑은 날의 조건 하에 총 두 차례의 유효한 현장 관측 자료를 얻었으며, MODTRAN 6 복사전달모델을 활용하여 대기 상단(top-of-atmosphere, TOA) radiance를 모의하였다. 모의된 TOA radiance와 CAS500-1의 digital number (DN)는 선형성은 보였지만, CAS500-1 영상의 넓은 시야각과 saturation 발생으로 향후 변환 계수의 보완이 필요한 것으로 보인다. 하지만, 본 연구는 CAS500-1의 절대복사보정에 대한 첫 시도를 하였으며, 향후 높은 신뢰성을 가진 계수 결정을 목표로 하는 연구들에 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

Field Line of sight Automated Radiance Exposure (FLARE) 시스템을 이용하여 다목적위성3호/3A호의 절대복사 검보정 연구를 수행하였다. FLARE는 미국의 Labshphere사에 의해 개발된 시스템으로 SPecular Array Radiometric Calibration (SPARC) 개념을 적용한 것이다. FLARE는 거울처럼 반사하는 거울 타겟을 사용하여 산란되는 복사에너지의 원인 요소들을 최소화시킨 단순한 복사보정 방법을 제공한다. FLARE 시스템이 장착된 사이트를 통과하는 다목적위성3호/3A호를 이용한 영상자료 획득을 위해 2021년 7월 5일부터 7월 15일 사이에 필드캠페인을 진행하였다. 기상 상황 때문에 여러 번의 관측 자료 가운데 2개의 다목적위성3호 관측자료만이 유효한 샘플 영상으로 확인되었다. FLARE 시스템과 다목적위성3호 관측 자료를 바탕으로 절대복사 검보정 계수를 산출하였다. 7월 7일과 7월 13일 획득된 2개의 FLARE 관측 자료를 통해 계산된 결과는 근적외 채널을 제외하고 1% 이내의 매우 유사한 결과를 보여 주었다. 2021년 8월 획득된 다목적위성3호/3A호 자료를 추가하여 분석한 결과, 현재의 메타 데이터에 할당된 위성들의 이득값들과는 상당한 차이를 보였다. 제한된 획득자료로 인해 FLARE 시스템을 실제 운영 중인 다목적위성3호/3A호에 대한 절대복사 검보정 계수 산출 용도로 사용하기 위해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
