Information Technologies in Remote Sensing of the Earth

Satellite instruments calibration is critical for detection and quantification of changes in the Earth’s environment, and monitoring climate and land cover change. To meet the stringent needs of such applications, onboard instruments must provide reliable, accurate, and consistent measurements over time. This work is about one multisatellite approach for data calibration. Method is based on histogram comparing of series of two simultaneous pairs satellite images, where one is reference and other evaluated.
