This study described the on-orbit vicarious radiometric calibration of Chinese civilian high-resolution stereo mapping satellite ZY3-02 multispectral imager (MUX). The calibration was based on gray-scale permanent artificial targets, and multiple radiometric calibration tarpaulins (tarps) using a reflectance-based approach between July and September 2016 at Baotou calibration site in China was described. The calibration results reveal a good linear relationship between DN and TOA radiances of ZY3-02 MUX. The uncertainty of this radiometric calibration was 4.33%, indicating that radiometric coefficients of ZY3-02 MUX are reliable. A detailed discussion on the validation analysis of the comparison results between the different radiometric calibration coefficients is presented in this paper. To further validate the reliability of the three coefficients, the calibrated ZY3-02 MUX was compared with Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI). The results also indicate that radiometric characteristics of ZY3-02 MUX imagery are reliable and highly accurate for quantitative applications.

Dataset of Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 RGB-NDVI imagery.

Data Brief

December 2024

Faculty of Engineering, Politécnico Colombiano Jaime Isaza Cadavid, 48th Av, 7-151, Medellín, Colombia.

This article presents a comprehensive dataset combining Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery from the Sentinel-1 mission with optical imagery, including RGB and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), from the Sentinel-2 mission. The dataset consists of 8800 images, organized into four folders-SAR_VV, SAR_VH, RGB, and NDVI-each containing 2200 images with dimensions of 512 × 512 pixels. These images were collected from various global locations using random geographic coordinates and strict criteria for cloud cover, snow presence, and water percentage, ensuring high-quality and diverse data.

Article Synopsis
  • The MAJIS instrument on the JUICE spacecraft will study the surfaces and atmospheres of the Jupiter system by analyzing visible and infrared light.
  • A calibration campaign was conducted before launch to gather necessary measurements for evaluating the instrument's performance, including signal-to-noise ratio and straylight effects.
  • The paper details the setup and methods used for calibration and discusses the radiometric, geometric, and spectral properties measured, as well as challenges faced during the campaign.

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P) was the primary target of ESA's Rosetta mission. Hyperspectral images acquired by the Mapping channel of the Visible and InfraRed Thermal Imaging Spectrometer aboard Rosetta can be used to derive physical and compositional surface properties by detailed spectrophotometric analyses. This calls for a precise spatial co-registration between measurements and geometry information.

The X-Ray Sensor (XRS) has been making full-disk observations of the solar soft X-ray irradiance onboard National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites since 1975. Critical information about solar activity for space weather operations is provided by XRS measurements, such as the classification of solar flare magnitude based on X-ray irradiance level. The GOES-R series of XRS sensors, with the first in the series launched in November 2016, has a completely different instrument design compared to its predecessors, GOES-1 through GOES-15.

Leveraging hyperspectral data across various domains yields substantial benefits, yet managing many spectral bands and identifying the essential ones poses a formidable challenge. This study identifies the most relevant bands within a hyperspectral data cube for turbidity prediction in inland water. Nine machine learning regressors Cat Boost, Decision Trees, Extra Trees, Gradient Boost, Light Gradient Boost (LightGBM), Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), Random Forest, Support Vector Regressor (SVR), and Xtreme Gradient Boost (XGBoost) have been used to compute the feature importance of the hyperspectral bands for predicting turbidity.
