NASA NTRS1975

SL-4 S-190 spectroradiometric accuracy

A procedure used for determining radiometric accuracy, consisting of two phases is presented. In the first phase a sensitometer was used as a calibrated radiometric target; while in the second, the moon was employed. Since the moon is a nonhomogeneous target whose radiometric signature is not as well-known as the irradiants of the sensitometer, the majority of this effort was directed towards the reduction and analysis of the sensitometric data.

NASA NTRS1969

Geographic analysis of multiple sensor data from the NASA/USGS earth resources program

Qualitative and quantitative analyses were made of multi-sensor data acquired during aircraft missions. While the principal analysis effort was concentrated on imagery taken over test sites in Southern California, data were also studied from records acquired on missions over test sites at Phoenix, Chicago, Asheville, and New Orleans. The objectives of the analyses were: (1) to determine the capabilities of ten remote sensors in identifying the elements of information necessary in conducting geographic investigations in land use analysis, urban problems, surface energy budget, and soil moisture; (2) to determine the feasibility of using these sensors for these purposes at orbital altitudes; and (3) to collate and analyze ground and air data previously collected and assemble it in a format useful in the accomplishment of cost effectiveness studies.
