Modelling full-colour images of Earth: simulation of radiation brightness field of Earth’s atmosphere and underlying surface

This article is dedicated to the problem of realistic colour rendering space object images using tools computer graphics. In form a short essay, authors describe essence, sources and functionality modern graphics applications. Particular attention paid application in science. The specific purpose study use field remote sensing Earth’s surface. describes method for synthesizing develop 3D models Earth visible spectral range, observed from geostationary orbits. based on improved model atmospheric radiation arbitrary sighting conditions an inhomogeneous spherical atmosphere. Physical horizontally distributions density, temperature albedo were improved. All calculations performed accordance with molecular scattering atmosphere, taking into account sunlight forward-scattering reflection planet’s allows us obtain its various phases, heights. obtained theoretical compared black white satellites.
