Abstract

Sensor calibration increases the probability of mission success by quantifying the sensor’s response to known radiometric input, characterizing the interactions between the sensor's components, and allowing systematic errors to be discovered and resolved before launch. This workshop provides guidelines for conducting a successful EO sensor calibration campaign. It is intended for use by managers, technical oversight personnel, scientists, and engineers as a useful reference in planning and carrying out a sensor calibration.

The information presented at this workshop is based on a publication titled Guidelines for Radiometric Calibration of Electro-Optical Instruments for Remote Sensing that is due to be published in the near future. The publication is based on the authors' many years of combined experience planning, reviewing, preparing, conducting, analyzing, implementing, and reporting on a variety of calibration efforts.
