Optical calibration

 
  • Calibration is outstanding
  • Kblue/Kbgreen=0.740
  • Kblue=0.130 m-1 , Kgreen=0.176 m-1
  • See that it is necessary to decrease markedly the operational attenuation coefficients in the Yellow-Red-NIR range
  • this is now recognised to be systematic, probably under control of the path radiance (overcast skies, here)
  • it is a remarkable feature of the diffuse underwater light field observed from above by a remote sensing imager
  • see HYPERION at Fakarava
  • 7=Blue
  • 13=Green
  • 22=Red
  • 28=NIR
  • X[7]/X[13]: the ratio Kblue/Kgreen is well secured at K7/K13=0.74 over the whole depth range
  • X[7]/X[22]=0.280 and X[13]/X[22]=0.378 are fairly secure
  • 280/378=0.741: this system is consistent
  • it actually is consistent over the whole visible range: this is remarkable
  • WL[7]=475 nm
  • WL[11]=522 nm
  • WL[20]=625 nm
  • Channel 27 is PANchromatic
  • X[7] vs X[27]: calibration of the PAN channel is under tight control
