A method for the determination of aerosol optical properties from imaging spectrometer data on a local scale is investigated, making use of the continuous spectral coverage, high spatial resolution, and the well-calibrated radiometry of such data. The method (correlated spectral unmixing) is based on the decomposition of the sensor signal in the short-wave infrared using spectrum database ground spectra, the reconstruction of image ground spectra in the visible, and forward modelling with a radiative transfer code. The sensitivity of the imaging spectrometer signal to different atmospheric condititions is explored, as well as the correlation of spectral reflectances in the visible and short-wave infrared for a variety of surfaces. The potential of the presented method is demonstrated for a scene from the airborne visible and infrared imaging spectrometer AVIRIS over rugged heterogeneous coastal terrain in California, and comparisons to multispectral methods are made.
In the framework of the APEX (Airborne Prism Experiment) pushbroom imaging spectrometer, a complete processing and archiving facility (PAF) is developed. The PAF not only includes imaging spectrometer data processing up to physical units, but also geometric and atmospheric correction for each scene, as well as calibration data input. The PAF software includes an Internet based web-server and provides interfaces to data users as well as instrument operators and programmers. The software design, the tools and its life cycle is discussed as well. Further we will discuss particular instrument requirements (resampling, bad pixel treatment, etc.) in view of the operation of the PAF as well as their consequences on the product quality. Finally we will discuss a combined approach for geometric and atmospheric correction including BRDF (or view angle) related effects.
