Abstract
Four methods for the in-flight radiometric calibration and cross calib ration of multispectral imaging sensors are described. Three make use of ground-based reflectance, irradiance, and radiance measurements in conjunction with atmospheric measurements and one compares calibration s between sensors. Error budgets for these methods are presented and t heir validation is discussed by reference to SPOT and TM results and s hown to meet the EOS requirements in the solar-reflective range.
