Stennis Space CenterIntroduction
• Standard definitions for spatial, spectral, radiometric, and geometric properties are needed describing passive electro-optical systems and their products.
• Sensor parameters are bound by the fundamental performance of a system, while product parameters describe what is available to the end user.
![Page 4: Stennis Space Center 1 Parameters Describing Earth Observing Remote Sensing Systems Robert Ryan Lockheed Martin Space Operations - Stennis Programs John.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649eb05503460f94bb64d1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Stennis Space CenterIntroduction (Continued)
• Because detailed sensor performance information may not be readily available to an international science community, standardization of product parameters is of primary importance.
• User community desire as a few parameters as possible to describe the performance of a product or system.

Stennis Space CenterIntroduction (Continued)
• Guidelines and standards are of little use without standardized terms.
• Studies that describe the impact of parameters on various applications are critically needed.
• This presentation is going to emphasize spatial.

Stennis Space CenterSpecifying a Digital Imagery Product
•Spatial– Spatial/Frequency Domain– Aliasing
•Spectral (Sensor)– Panchromatic or Multispectral
•Radiometry– Relative– Absolute– Signal-to-Noise Ratio
•Geolocational Accuracy– Circular Error

• Ground Sample Distance • Point Spread Function• Edge Response • Line Spread Function• Optical Transfer Function
– Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)
• Aliasing

Stennis Space CenterGround Sample Distance
• Ground Sample Distance (GSD) is the distance between the center of pixels in an image– Products are typically resampled and do not
completely agree with intrinsic sensor sampling
• Most commonly used spatial parameter• Does not tell the whole story

Point Spread Function
• Scene is considered to be a collection of point sources
• Each point source is blurred by the point spread function (PSF).

• MTF is a measure of an imaging system’s ability to recreate the spatial frequency content of scene
MTF is the magnitude of the Fourier Transform ofthe Point Spread Function / LineSpread Function.

Stennis Space CenterSpatial/Frequency Domain
• Most specifications are written in terms of MTF as a function of spatial frequency– Dominant parameter is typically MTF @ Nyquist frequency– Nyquist frequency depends on GSD
• Nyquist frequency = 1/(2*GSD)
– MTF at Nyquist is a measure of aliasing
• Edge Response is more intuitive– RER (Relative Edge Response)– Ringing

Stennis Space CenterCE90 Geolocational Accuracy
• A standard metric often used for horizontal accuracy in map or image products is circular error at the 90% confidence level (CE90). The National Map Accuracy Standard (NMAS) established this measure in the U.S. geospatial community. NMAS (U.S. Bureau of the Budget, 1947) set the criterion for mapping products that 90% of well-defined points tested must fall within a certain radial distance.

Stennis Space CenterSummary
• For “well behaved” systems and products a few simple well chosen parameters can describe the system or product.
• Derived products can be significantly different than their intrinsic sensor data
• Studies that describe the impact of parameters on various applications are critically needed.
