Customer: Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES)
Programme: DTQTIS
Supply Chain: CNES > CS Group SPACE
Context
CS Group responsabilities for Absolute radiometric calibration - Studies for improving Sade -Muscle tools are as follows:

The features are as follows:
- Improvement hyperspectral interpolation on deserted sites :
- Analysis of available hyperspectres (Gome-2, Onera, Ecostress, Picsand)
- Generation of reference hyperspectres for desert sites
- Application to calibration (MSI, OLCI, SLSTR)
Toa spectral integration for deserted calibration :
- Adaptation of muscle/implementation of algorithm
- BOA/TOA integration comparison (Spot-6 and SLSTR calibrations)
Rayleigh/glitter calibration :
- Development BRDF Morel & Gentili Correction (Integration Muscle-Neo in progress)
- Study on improving the spectral interpolation of air conditioning reflectances
Project implementation
The project objectives are as follows:
- Improve the modeling of surface reflectance of desert calibration sites
- Replace the spline interpolation made from multi-spectral measures with an interpolation from a hyperspectrans
- Replace the integration of surface reflectance by integration of the simulated signal at the top of the atmosphere
The processes for carrying out the project are:
- Study, tests, regular advancement meetings
