NCAVEO - Glossary

http://www.ncaveo.ac.uk/resources/glossary

Collecting data during the NCAVEO 2006 field experiment. Closeness of the agreement between the result of a measurement and a true value of the measurand. The process of removing the effect of the atmosphere on a signal recorded by an aircraft or satellite sensor. In optical wavelength remote sensing this is usually taken to include removal of the effects of absorption and scattering by gas molecules and aerosols but not the removal of clouds and cloud shadows (see cloud-screening. A device to enable an ...

NCAVEO - Direct methods

http://www.ncaveo.ac.uk/calibration/radiometry/in-flight

Collecting data during the NCAVEO 2006 field experiment. These use on-board calibration sources such as lamps or panels that may be positioned in the optical path. Limitations of this method include the susceptibility of the lamp or panel to degradation over time and the incomplete characterisation of the optical system due to the lamp or panel either not completely filling the field-of-view or being inserted part-way through the optical path. Indirect methods (Vicarious calibration). Other terrestrial s...
