Coupling Simulated Ocean Reflectance to the Atmospheric Correction of Hyperspectral Images

摘要

Ocean hyperspectral remote sensing is more difficult than terrestrial hyperspectral remote sensing. The difficulties stem from two major differences between oceanic and terrestrial systems. The first is in the 'darkness' of the ocean target versus the terrestrial target. The second is in the spectral differences in the reflectance, particularly in the near infrared (NIR). While these factors were known qualitatively, this program focused on the quantification of the importance of these factors in the characterization, calibration, deployment, atmospheric correction, product generation, and product delivery of coastal ocean hyperspectral information.
