radiometric emissive band calibration
Aerospace; Satellites
Equations converting unitless digital numbers (DN) from the satellite imager to brightness temperature, a measure of the amount of energy being radiated by the target. Brightness ...
multispectral
Aerospace; Satellites
Generally denotes remote sensing in two or more spectral bands, such as visible and infrared.
nonsystematic distortion
Aerospace; Satellites
Geometric irregularities on images that are not constant and cannot be predicted from the characteristics of the imaging system. For example: parallax distortions caused by ...
altitude
Aerospace; Satellites
height above a datum, the datum usually being mean sea level. Not the same as elevation, for altitude generally refers to points above the Earth's surface rather than those on it. ...
focal plane
Aerospace; Satellites
In an instrument such as the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), the plane occupied by the detectors, and on which the radiances to be sensed are incident.
kilobyte (Kb)
Aerospace; Satellites
In decimal systems kilo stands for 1,000, but in binary systems a kilo is 1,024 (2 to the 10th power). Technically a kilobyte is 1,024 bytes but is often used loosely as a synonym ...
cluster
Aerospace; Satellites
In image processing, a homogeneous group of units, which are very "like" one another. "Likeness" among units is usually determined by the association, similarity, or distance ...
