Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of remote sensing quantitative data processing technology, and in particular to a combined Earth-Moon wide-response on-orbit radiometric calibration method and system. Background Technology

[0002] In-orbit absolute radiometric calibration is an irreplaceable cornerstone for satellite remote sensing data to move from "raw observation" to "quantitative application." It converts the DN values ​​of satellite-acquired images into physically meaningful surface or top-atmosphere radiance / reflectance values. By eliminating the influence of non-target factors such as sensor response characteristics, changes in illumination conditions, and atmospheric transmission attenuation, it establishes comparability between data acquired at different times and from different sensors, providing a reliable, comparable, and quantifiable physical basis for subsequent quantitative information inversion and application. With the ever-expanding demand for quantitative applications of remote sensing data, improving the reliability of in-orbit absolute radiometric calibration has become an urgent requirement.

[0003] Current on-orbit radiometric calibration methods mainly include spaceborne calibration, site-alternate calibration, cross-calibration, and lunar calibration. A single calibration method is often insufficient to achieve radiometric calibration across a wide response range for satellite payloads. Spaceborne calibration, using artificial calibration sources / solar diffuse reflectors, is limited by its fixed output radiation intensity, allowing for radiometric calibration of satellite payloads only within a specific response range. Furthermore, due to limitations in size, cost, and power consumption, most satellites cannot install such devices. Site-alternate calibration and cross-calibration utilize homogeneous calibration targets such as deserts or Gobi deserts on the ground to establish a radiometric reference transfer link from the sun to the calibration target and then to the satellite payload. However, these methods have the following limitations: 1) Deserts or Gobi deserts have uniform spectral characteristics and high reflectivity, making it difficult to simultaneously calibrate radiometric data within the lower response range of the satellite payload; 2) Calibration accuracy is difficult to improve due to the influence of atmospheric radiation transmission. Lunar calibration uses the moon as a reference radiation source, but due to the overall low reflectivity of the lunar surface, it is difficult to achieve radiometric calibration within the higher response range of the satellite payload.

[0004] Therefore, in reality, there is a need for an on-orbit radiometric calibration method with a wide response range that can simultaneously cover both the low and high ranges of satellite payload response, so as to provide more reliable support for the quantitative application of remote sensing satellite data.
