résumé

GF-4 is the first high-resolution geostationary orbit optical remote sensing satellite in China, and it is equipped with a staring camera that covers the visible-to-mid-infrared spectrum. Providing in-orbit radiometric calibration coefficients frequently is difficult due to the lack of on-board calibration devices. To effectively monitor the radiometric performance of GF-4/PMS and provide a solid basis for quantitative applications, the cross-calibration method was used in this study to derive the calibration coefficients over a selected calibration site located in the north of Badan Jaran Desert. The cross-calibration site was identified by searching the uniform area in a high-resolution image (i.e., Landsat 8 /OLI) to minimize the uniform impact on the cross-calibration results. To reduce the effects of the imaging angles of the sensor and atmospheric changes, the restraint was set to the imaging angle difference between MODIS and GF-4 (less than 20°), the imaging time difference (less than 2 h), the cloud, and image quality. In total, 13 image pairs were available from 2016 to 2018 and were used to calculate the cross-calibration coefficients after compensating for the spectral matching factors, which were simulated by MODTRAN. Results showed that (1) the cross-calibration coefficients calculated under the Lambertian assumption were highly consistent with those calculated under the Ross-Li BRDF assumption. The uncertainty was less than 7.4%, and the relative difference ranged between 0.8% and 4% when BRDF was neglected. (2) The radiometric performance of GF-4/PMS decreased slowly from 2016 to 2018, with 1% decrement per year. Thus, the proposed method can effectively improve the radiometric calibration frequency of GF-4/PMS with an acceptable accuracy and can be used for radiometric performance monitoring over the whole life cycle of the sensor.
