Sensor simulation

Unit Description

This lecture describes the theoretical process chain of sensor forward simulation. In particular, the individual steps are explained as the signal undergoes a transformation from surface material reflectance via top of atmosphere radiance up to sensor DN (level-0 data), the raw product of real sensors.
This slide collection is one of the basic lectures offered by HYPERedu. It contains all essential information for understanding, but it is recommended to have worked through the lecture “Pre-processing of hyperspectral remote sensing data” beforehand.
