The radiometric calibration requirements includes absolute radiometric accuracy to 3 percent. To meet this challenging requirement MISR has employed detector based calibration methodology. The source, a 1.65 m integrating sphere, is spatially and spectrally featureless. Thus, when viewing scenes that are likewise homogeneous, the sensor incident radiance is easily retrieved to high accuracy. To enhance the radiance product for arbitrary scene types, however, MISR is planning to incorporate spectral out-of-band, point-spread function deconvolution, and pixel nonuniformity of response corrections. A summary of the preflight calibration is presented in this paper, as well as the error uncertainties for specific scene types with and without these processing corrections.Read More
