4SM Kauai, Kawaii

As of january 2012, it turns out that this IKONOS data,
and the Oahu WV2 data as well,
were "offset" by an unknown amount:
"the band images after subtracting an estimate of the deep water upwelling radiance".
This interferes with my deglinting process:
I need the original radiance, direct from data provider

This is my working directory for po_180000_0000000
PCIDSK database is kauai0.pix see database structure
Use as is, or export to your prefered image format
Glint in the NIR band is very poorly correlated to other three bands
No beach
Raging breaking waves
Clouds
Had to use another 4SM trick : now got a quite handsome results
Water there appears to be the clearest oceanic type
Did not use those 400000 plus SHOALS depth points...
Could not estimate green wavelength other than at mid-waveband;
therefore the slope might be important in FinalZ = Tideheight + slope * Computed depth
See kauai0.pix
Depth in centimeters is in channel_32 : quite interesting
Water column corrected TCC is in channels_30_29_28 RGB
Deglinted TCC is in channels_26_25_24
Results are noisy as a result of choppy seas and sturdy glint

True Color Composite : Why that blocky fabric?
I find it hard that this is the original data direct from DigitalGlobe

http://www.watercolumncorrection.com/images/k/kau/kauai0_calibration_360.png	Calibration Not for a beginner! Hard to see through, as there may not be any bright sand around Oceanic I type of water is a sensible statement. Impossible to investigate the question of wavelength for the green band : wavelengths at mid wavebands for all four bands NO FIELD DATA USED YET

It can be seen that the radiometric quality of the signal captured by the sensor is questionable, to say the least this raises serious questions Using the NIR-based regressions yields very poor results Using the RED-based regressions improves matters significantly The radiometric setup of this image (LsM, Lsw, Lw) is not under control: Not worth the pain.

This is an enormous amount of glint : can't be removed to satisfaction
