Bidirectional Spectral Reflectance Factor of Baotou Sandy Calibration Site and Its Application in Vicarious Radiometric Calibration

摘要

Directional reflectance of Baotou sandy calibration site was measured in September 2017. Directional reflectance factors were collected using the Multi-Angles Observation System (MAOS) designed by Academy of Opto-Electronics (AOE), Chinese Academy of Sciences. The directional reflectance was measured at a few viewing and azimuth angles in the 0-30° and 0-360° angular ranges, respectively. Anisotropy and directional effect of surface reflectance were analyzed based on the measured directional reflectance factors. The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model of the calibration site was also modelled, and the model fitting error was approximated to be within 2%. The BRDF model was also used to correct angular difference between ground measurements and satellite measurements in vicarious radiometric calibration carried out in Baotou sandy calibration site, and calibration results with and without angular correction were shown in this work.
