Abstract
Ocean surface sunglint reflection is very important for detecting ocean surface roughness, oil spills, oceanic internal waves, and so on. Although statistical sunglint models (i.e., Cox–Munk model) have been used successfully on coarse-resolution spaceborne optical images for several decades, it is still a challenge to apply it to high spatial resolution images due to scale effects of the optical remote sensing. In this study, a sea wave model and the Pinhole camera model were employed to simulate the sunglint reflection images with different spatial resolutions and viewing angles. Coefficient of variation (CV) of sunglint reflection collected from various images indicates that there is uncertainty in sunglint reflection in images with different spatial resolutions. This study presents the applicability of sunglint statistical models in images with different spatial resolutions and viewing angles.
