Abstract
Two recent projects at Spectral Sciences Inc. share the goal of improving the calibration of overhead optical sensors. In the first, we have developed a vicarious calibration method that utilizes our MODTRAN software, a recognized standard for atmospheric radiative transport modeling along with contemporaneous satellite measurements from known sensors, to retrieve top-of-atmosphere radiance and subsequent band integrations provide calibration constants. In the second, we are developing a new thermally controlled array of spectrally characterized panels to support accurate calibration of imagers in the visible through long wavelength infrared (LWIR). Progress and results of both efforts will be described.
