A New Automatic System for Angular Measurement and Calibration in Radiometric Instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper puts forward the design, construction and testing of a new automatic system for angular-response measurement and calibration in radiometric instruments. Its main characteristics include precision, speed, resolution, noise immunity, easy programming and operation. The developed system calculates the cosine error of the radiometer under test by means of a virtual instrument, from the measures it takes and through a mathematical procedure, thus allowing correcting the radiometer with the aim of preventing cosine error in its measurements.

Intensity Calibration and Imaging with Swissranger Sr-3000 Range Camera
Intensity images acquired with range imaging instruments can be used in the future for various applications, e.g. face recognition, assisting blind people in travelling and walking, automatic robotic vision, rendering 3D models and improving automatic recognition of objects. For the intensity information to be usable, it needs to be radiometrically calibrated. In this paper we propose the first...
متن کاملA New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
متن کاملImprovement of Accuracy in Environmental Dosimetry by TLD Cards Using Three-dimensional Calibration Method
Background: The angular dependency of response for TLD cards may cause deviation from its true value on the results of environmental dosimetry, since TLDs may be exposed to radiation at different angles of incidence from the surrounding area.Objective: A 3D setting of TLD cards has been calibrated isotropically in a standard radiation field to evaluate the improvement of the accuracy of meas...

The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding is one of the atmospheric payload instruments on board ESA’s ENVISAT which was successfully launched into a sun-synchronous, polar orbit on 1 March 2002. Covering a broad spectral range from 685 2410 cm-1, at high spectral resolution and radiometric sensitivity the instrument permits unprecedent observations of a large number of atmo...
متن کاملRadiometric Measurement Comparison on the Integrating Sphere Source Used to Calibrate the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)
As part of a continuing effort to validate the radiometric scales assigned to integrating sphere sources used in the calibration of Earth Observing System (EOS) instruments, a radiometric measurement comparison was held in May 1998 at Raytheon/Santa Barbara Remote Sensing (SBRS). This comparison was conducted in support of the calibration of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MO...
