Imaging geometry
from 11MAR31215109-M2AS-052656310070_01_P002.IMD from DigitalGlobe
looking right into the sun and sideways!!

    meanSunAz = 146.5;
    meanSunEl =  70.0;
    meanSatAz = 306.1; sensor looks SE, right into the sun
    meanSatEl =  47.1;
    meanInTrackViewAngle =  14.9;
    meanCrossTrackViewAngle = -34.8;
    meanOffNadirViewAngle =  37.5; sensor looks full sideways

Glint Correlations


Glint regressions based on band 8
  • Again, it would seem that this image is not raw from data provider: "the band images after subtracting an estimate of the deep water upwelling radiance"??

  • Pixels at Zero cause a bad distortion of the glint regression: they MUST be bypassed

 

 
Glint regressions based on band 7
 

BiDim histograms over deep waters
band 8 is well correlated with bands 6, 4 and 1

BiDim histograms over deep waters
band 7 is well correlated with bands 5, 3 and 2

  
7 vs 8                            6 vs 8

  
3 vs 8                            2 vs 8
 
  
5 vs 8                            4 vs 8

  1 vs 8
  
  6 vs 7                           5 vs 7

  
2 vs 7                            1 vs 7
  
  4 vs 7                           3 vs 7


 
A weird pattern of interband correlations is observed:
  • NIR band 8 is well correlated with bands 6, 4 and 1
  • NIR band 7 is well correlated with bands 5 , 3 and 2
  • this must be accounted for to improve deglinting
 
 

  • Glint in bands 7 and 8 are offset
  • Lowest radiance goes down to zero in raw data
    • I had to offset them a bit, as ZERO is NODATA by default!
 

bands 2, 3, 5 and 7
  • Note the residues of glint in deglinted data in spite of plain strong smoothing and of smart deglinting

 

bands 1, 4, 6 and 8
  • See that the glint regressions yield suitable estimation of spectral deep water radiances:
  • -Lsw/044.7/029.3/010.6/009.3/009.5/000.0/000.1/000.1
