[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] In the absolute radiometric calibration of spaceborne low-light payloads, if a site-substitute calibration method is used, this method is typically conducted under full moon conditions, which limits the frequency of absolute radiometric calibration. Furthermore, this method requires using a lunar irradiance model to simulate the radiance at the entrance pupil of the spaceborne low-light payload; therefore, its calibration accuracy cannot be further improved due to the uncertainties of the lunar irradiance model, making it difficult to meet the requirements for high-precision radiometric calibration and radiometric performance monitoring of spaceborne low-light payloads.
[0046] If an active light source-based calibration method is used, a self-illuminating active light source is typically used as the calibration ground object. By acquiring atmospheric parameters at the moment of transit of the spaceborne low-light payload, the upward radiance at the entrance pupil of the satellite payload is simulated, thereby achieving absolute radiometric calibration. However, the active light source-based absolute radiometric calibration method for spaceborne low-light payloads mainly focuses on single-point calibration in the low-resolution VIIRS DNB band, which cannot meet the full-spectrum coverage requirements of spaceborne low-light payloads.
[0047] Based on this, the present invention proposes an absolute radiometric calibration method for spaceborne low-light payloads. The method achieves absolute radiometric calibration of spaceborne low-light payloads through multi-point calibration, which can improve calibration accuracy, meet the requirements of high-precision radiometric calibration and radiometric performance monitoring of spaceborne low-light payloads, and also meet the requirements of full-spectrum coverage of spaceborne low-light payloads.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an absolute radiometric calibration method for a spaceborne low-light payload, comprising:
[0049] Step 101: Calculate the radiance at the entrance pupil of multiple point light sources with different imaging areas for the spaceborne micro-light payload, and obtain multiple radiance values at the entrance pupil.
[0050] To address the issue of low calibration accuracy when using single-point calibration, this invention utilizes multiple point light sources to calculate the radiance at the entrance pupil of the spaceborne micro-light payload. These point light sources can have different areas, and the imaging areas of different point light sources are different, resulting in different radiance values at the entrance pupil obtained through the calculation of the radiance at the entrance pupil of the spaceborne micro-light payload.
[0051] Under lunar-less conditions, the radiation sources acquired by spaceborne low-light payloads are mainly natural and artificial light sources. In this case, the acquired remote sensing images of the low-light payload have a higher signal-to-noise ratio, better imaging quality, and are more conducive to the site-specific absolute radiometric calibration of the low-light payload. Therefore, this invention can perform absolute radiometric calibration of spaceborne low-light payloads under dark conditions (lunar-less or new moon). Figure 2 The diagram shows a radiative transfer model of a point light source under moonless conditions, as follows. Figure 2 As shown, the angle between the two dashed lines represents the field of view of satellite 21, the radiation path of light source 22, and the dotted dashed lines represent point source radiation, solid lines represent scattered radiation, and dotted dashed lines represent path radiation. Figure 2 It can be seen that the radiance at the entrance pupil of a spaceborne low-light payload mainly consists of two parts: the emission radiance of the surface light source and the background radiance.
[0052] As an optional implementation, a method for calculating the radiance at the entrance pupil of a spaceborne low-light payload includes:
[0053] The emitted radiance of the point light source is obtained when the point light source responds in all wavelength ranges of the spaceborne micro-light payload.
[0054] The effective brightness of a point light source is calculated based on its emitted radiance and its imaging area.
[0055] The radiance at the entrance pupil of the spaceborne low-light payload is calculated based on the effective brightness of the point light source, and the radiance value at the entrance pupil is obtained.
[0056] To meet the full-spectrum coverage requirement of spaceborne low-light payloads, point light sources must have a response within the spectral range of the spaceborne low-light payload, meaning that the emitted radiance of the point light source is not zero within the payload's spectral response range. Under this condition, the emitted radiance of the point light source is determined.
[0057] Optionally, the effective brightness of the point light source is calculated based on the emitted radiance and the imaging area of the point light source, including:
[0058] Based on the emitted radiance, scattering factor, and atmospheric transmittance of the point source, the radiance of the point source after atmospheric scattering and transmission is calculated.
[0059] The effective brightness of the point light source is calculated based on the radiance of the point light source after transmission, the imaging area of the point light source, and the spatial projection area of the spaceborne micro-light payload.
[0060] The radiance of the point source after atmospheric scattering and transmission is calculated using the following formula:
[0061] L AS (θ)=M S ·L TS (θ)·T↑
[0062] In the formula, L AS (θ) represents the radiance of the point source after atmospheric scattering and transmission, M S is the scattering factor, and T↑ is the atmospheric upward transmittance.
[0063] Specifically, methods for determining the scattering factor include:
[0064] If the point source is a Lambertian source, the scattering factor is determined based on spherical albedo and surface reflectivity.
[0065] In practical applications, the scattering factor can be determined using the following formula:
[0066]
[0067] In the formula, s is the spherical albedo, and ρ is the surface reflectance.
[0068] Specifically, methods for determining atmospheric transmittance include:
[0069] Acquire atmospheric profile data and aerosol content at the moment of transit of the spaceborne low-light payload;
[0070] Atmospheric profile data and aerosol content are input into the atmospheric radiative transfer model to obtain atmospheric transmittance.
[0071] Optionally, the atmospheric profile data may include, but is not limited to, water vapor content, pressure, and temperature.
[0072] The effective luminance of a point light source can be calculated using the following formula:
[0073]
[0074] In the formula, L MS (θ) represents the effective luminance of the point light source, which is the effective luminance of the point light source considering the finite pixel size. It indicates the average value of the point light source radiance within the spatial projection range of a single probe element of the load. L AS (θ) represents the radiance of the point source after atmospheric scattering and transmission, A S Let A be the imaging area of the point light source. DAS This represents the spatial projected area of the spaceborne micro-light payload.
[0075] The radiance at the entrance pupil of a spaceborne low-light payload is calculated based on the effective brightness of a point source, yielding the radiance value at the entrance pupil, including:
[0076] The radiance value at the entrance pupil is obtained by summing the effective luminance of the point light source and the background radiance. The radiance value at the entrance pupil is then calculated using the following formula:
[0077] L S =L MS (θ)+L Backgound
[0078] In the formula, L S L is the radiance value at the entrance pupil. MS (θ) represents the effective brightness of the point light source, θ is the zenith angle observed by the satellite, and L Backgound This represents the background radiance.
[0079] Background radiation includes upward atmospheric radiation from light pollution, atmospheric glow, and downward atmospheric radiation that strikes the Earth's surface and reflects into space. Background radiation may also include lunar radiation, but the calibration light source of this invention operates under dark conditions (no moon or new moon), therefore the influence of lunar radiation is not considered.
[0080] In summary, the radiance value at the entrance pupil can be calculated using the following formula:
[0081]
[0082] The above formula shows that when the area A of the point light source is... S The spatial projected area A of the spaceborne micro-light payload DAS Point light source emitted radiance L TS When (θ) and atmospheric transmittance T↑ are known, absolute radiometric calibration of the low-light load can be achieved.
[0083] Step 102: Accumulate the brightness values of the remote sensing image pixels corresponding to each point light source to obtain the sum of the brightness values of the multiple remote sensing image pixels.
[0084] In the absence of a moon, each point light source in the remote sensing image corresponds to multiple pixels. The sum of the brightness values of the remote sensing image pixels corresponding to each point light source is obtained to get the total DN value of each point light source. For example, the DN value of the i-th point light source illuminating the j-th pixel is DN. i,j Then the sum of the brightness values of the remote sensing image pixels corresponding to the point light source is n is the number of pixels corresponding to this point light source.
[0085] Step 103: Based on the sum of the radiance value at the entrance pupil and the pixel radiance value of the remote sensing image, determine the radiometric calibration point corresponding to each point light source.
[0086] The x-axis of the radiometric calibration point represents the sum of the brightness values of the remote sensing image pixels, and the y-axis represents the radiance value at the entrance pupil. For each point light source, there is a corresponding radiance value at the entrance pupil and a sum of the brightness values of the remote sensing image pixels. By matching the radiance value at the entrance pupil and the brightness value of the remote sensing image pixels with the point light source, the radiometric calibration point of that point light source is obtained.
[0087] Step 104: Perform linear fitting on multiple radiation calibration points to obtain the fitted calibration function, and determine the calibration coefficients based on the fitted calibration function.
[0088] When using a sequence of point light sources with different point light source areas, the corresponding radiance L at the entrance pupil of the satellite payload... s This represents a series of values. After extracting the sum of the DN values of the pixels corresponding to each point light source in the spaceborne low-light payload image data, multi-point radiometric calibration of the spaceborne low-light payload can be achieved through linear fitting.
[0089] The fitted scaling function is as follows:
[0090] L S =∑DN·Gain+Bias
[0091] In the formula, Gain is the gain in the scaling coefficients, and Bias is the bias in the scaling coefficients.
[0092] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic of multi-point radiometric calibration. Figure 3 The text provides three radiometric calibration points, with the x-coordinate of the first radiometric calibration point being... The vertical axis is L S1 The x-coordinate of the second radiation calibration point is The vertical axis is L S2 The x-coordinate of the i-th radiation calibration point is The vertical axis is L Si The straight line obtained through linear fitting is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0093] This invention obtains the calibration coefficients Gain and Bias by linearly fitting multiple radiometric calibration points, thereby completing the absolute radiometric calibration of spaceborne low-light payloads.
[0094] The present invention can also adjust the size of the lamp array opening formed by multiple point light sources, increasing the lamp array opening when the spatial resolution is low and decreasing the lamp array opening when the spatial resolution is high, thereby achieving absolute radiometric calibration of spaceborne micro-light payloads with different spatial resolutions.
[0095] This invention also provides an absolute radiometric calibration system for spaceborne low-light payloads, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the system includes:

[0098] The radiometric calibration point determination module 403 is used to determine the radiometric calibration point corresponding to each point light source based on the sum of the radiance value at the entrance pupil and the pixel radiance value of the remote sensing image.
[0099] The calibration coefficient determination module 404 is used to perform linear fitting on multiple radiation calibration points to obtain the fitted calibration function, and to determine the calibration coefficients based on the fitted calibration function.
