Calibration, absolute radiometric calibration in specific, is an important process for continuity and reliability of optical satellite data, since it puts the data on a standard scale and makes it compatible and comparable with the data acquired from different sensors. Therefore, the importance of performing a calibration campaign increased significantly. Being aware of this significance, TUBITAK UZAY (Space Technologies Research Institute, The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey), by taking advantage of having such a suitable site in the country, decided to establish a new absolute radiometric calibration test site on Tuz Gölü (Salt Lake) for the calibration and validation requirements of cal/val community in general and of the country, specifically. In order to evaluate the usability of the site and determine the most usable area, we first compiled a list of properties that a calibration/validation test site should have. We have seen that Tuz Gölü fulfils most of those requirements. Later, we performed homogeneity analysis using Getis Statistics on MODIS satellite images of July and August 2004-2007. As a result of analysis, we obtained approximate usable area to be 324.026 km2. We also observed that, the longer duration the region is covered with water, the more homogeneous it is. The site will be visited annually and further analysis and field studies will be conducted. The test site is considered to be useful to scientists all over the world.

SNR CALCULATION METHOD FOR REMOTE SENSING SATELLITE IMAGING SYSTEMS Turkmenoglu, Mustafa; Sengul, Orhan; Demircioglu, Erdem (2013-06-01) Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is a metric used to link the image quality and radiometric performance of the remote sensing imaging systems. It is one of the remote sensing imaging system's design parameters that represents the image quality. SNR calculation and analysis should be carried out at design phase of remote sensing imaging systems. This calculation and analysis are crucial for confirmation of design success. It is important to show that the light flux reaching the sensor and the generated electrons ...
Characterization of the Spatial Uniformity of the Tuz Gölü Calibration Test Site Leloğlu, Uğur Murat; Özen, Hilal; Gürol, Selime (2010-10-13) Based on absolute radiometric calibration studies conducted in 2008 and 2009 using ground measurements and satellite image data, Tuz Golu, a salt lake in Central Turkey, was internationally acknowledged as an official CEOS cal/val test site. In particular, spatial uniformity and temporal stability are important qualities that are required of calibration test sites, as the homogeneity of the area effects site selection and the usability of test areas. In this study, the question of how to select a calibratio...
A Novel Software for Automatic Calibration Factor Measurement of RF Power Sensors Kizilbey, Oguzhan; Arslan, Murat; Bayrak, Yusuf; Çetinkaya, Anıl; Yugruk, Aydin; Danaci, Erkan (2022-01-01) In this letter, a software for calibration factor (CF) measurement of radio frequency (RF) power sensors (PS) by using VNA-based direct comparison transfer method (VBDCTM) was developed on C# platform. Measurements were performed between 10 MHz and 18 GHz frequency range. When the calibration factors calculated with conventional CF measurement method and novel software were compared, a maximum difference of 4.56% was found in the 10 MHz - 18 GHz frequency band. Therefore, the automatic CF measurement softwa...
Atmospheric Effects Removal for the Infrared Image Sequences Ozsarac, Seckin; Akar, Gözde (2015-09-01) Accurate correction of atmospheric effects on data captured by an infrared (IR) camera is crucial for several applications such as vegetation monitoring, temperature monitoring, satellite images, hyperspectral imaging, numerical model simulations, surface properties characterization, and IR measurement interpretation. Atmospheric effects depend on the temporal changes, i. e., year, season, day, hour, etc., and on the geometry between the camera and the measured scene, i. e., line of sight. The orientation a...
Radiometric Camera Calibration of BiLSAT Small Satellite: Preliminary Results Frıedrıch, Jurgen; Leloğlu, Uğur Murat; Tunalı, Erol (2006-02-16) The studies on radiometric camera calibration of multispectral camera of the BiLSAT satellite is presented in this work. During the study, various dark images and flat-field images have been taken, and deviations from ideal has been investigated. Various sources of error have been studied and the non-homogeneous response of the CCD is explicitly modeled. Images have been corrected according to the models and the results have been discussed.
