Abstract

Abstract This article reviews experience in radiometric corrections of satellite and airborne remote sensing data at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) during the period 1972 to 1986. It also describes current research areas and recommends areas of future research where high priority is important for global change monitoring and for the derivation of quantitative information from remotely-sensed data in the solar reflective spectral regions. Throughout its history, CCRS has directed its efforts towards meeting specific needs. For satellite data (Landsat MSS, Thematic Mapper, AVHRR, and now SPOT HRV), the progression has been from relative calibration of detector elements (destriping) to absolute radiometric calibration of digital data. The routine use of atmospheric corrections and a priori knowledge of terrain reflectance properties have been introduced into the generation of specialized digital enhancements for photographic products. This has required the investigation of a wide range of radiom...
