Preflight and Vicarious Calibration of Hyperspectral Imagers
Abstract
This report describes the work period during the first year of the project to develop a comprehensive calibration/characterization plan describing methods to evaluate the alignment and focus of the optical elements, image quality based on the MTF of the system, stray light, spectral response, polarization sensitivity, detector-to-detector radiometric calibration in both a relative and absolute sense. In addition to the preflight characterization calibration plan, the work includes discussions of vicarious calibration approaches that act as a supplement to the onboard calibration systems to ensure that the sensor is behaving properly while in use.
