Data and Deglinting

TOA TCC: raw image
logarithmic enhancement

BOA TCC deglinted image
logarithmic enhancement
Glint regressions using SWIR1
No pan-sharpening applied

R2 values are fairly high
15 m resampling does not increase noise

 
 


Optical calibration
for the whole image

16U data are scaled to allow for comfortable screen display

Calibration diagram
for the whole image
for bands Blue, Green, Red and NIR



 

Calibration diagram
for the whole image
for bands Blue, PAN, Red, NIR
CoefKPan=1.05
  • 0-5m: KBLUE/KGREEN=0.855
    • Jerlov water type OII+0.9
  • 5-13m: clearing progressively to OII+0.3
  • 13-25m: clearing progressively to OIB+0.8
Calibration diagrams are just as good
for a 15m GSD pansharpened image
as it is for original 30 m GSD data

"stratified waters"
actually a fairly complex

Failing to account for it
entails poor control of the optical calibration
and artifacts in the results

 
   
"Stratified waters"

Profile Blue location
backdrop is a BOA TCC WCC
The RED and NIR bands
exhibit higher deep water radiance
where Coastal water type rules:
this is suspended particles load



Ready for modeling

BOA CC WCC normalized
BGR color composite:
  • Blue=Coastal band
  • Green=Green band
  • Red=Blue band
