A 3-dimensional Radiative-transfer Hyperspectral Image Simulator for Algorithm Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are currently developing a high model fidelity HyperSpectral Image simulation software package. It is based on a Direct Simulation Monte Carlo approach for modeling 3D atmospheric radiative transport, as well as spatially inhomogeneous surfaces including surface BRDF effects. “Ground truth” is accurately known through input specification of surface and atmospheric properties, and it is practical to consider wide variations of these properties. Treating both land and ocean surfaces, 3D terrain, 3D surface objects, and effects of finite clouds with surface shadowing. The computed data cubes can serve both as a substitute for and a supplement to field validation data.

متن کاملThree Dimensional Laminar Convection Flow of Radiating Gas over a Backward Facing Step in a Duct
In this study, three-dimensional simulations are presented for laminar forced convection flow of a radiating gas over a backward-facing step in rectangular duct. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. The three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is used to solve the governing equations which are conservations of mass, momentum and energy. These equations...
متن کاملImprovement of the Classification of Hyperspectral images by Applying a Novel Method for Estimating Reference Reflectance Spectra
Hyperspectral image containing high spectral information has a large number of narrow spectral bands over a continuous spectral range. This allows the identification and recognition of materials and objects based on the comparison of the spectral reflectance of each of them in different wavelengths. Hence, hyperspectral image in the generation of land cover maps can be very efficient. In the hy...

Remote sensing image analysis can be carried out at the per-pixel (hard) and sub-pixel (soft) scales. The former refers to the purity of image pixels, while the latter refers to the mixed spectra resulting from all objects composing of the image pixels. The spectral unmixing methods have been developed to decompose mixed spectra. Data-driven unmixing algorithms utilize the reference data called...
