10 The fine print: Why Reflectance? radiance vs reflectance - Reflectance has a lot of moving parts - Sun-Earth distance. - Sun-Target-Sensor geometry. - Atmospheric effects. - Calibration. - BRDF - etc, etc. DigitalGlobe Proprietary. DigitalGlobe. All rights reserved. 10

11 What is SWIR? (Short Wave Infrared) Visible (V) Near Infrared (NIR) Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) Picture Veg Iron Man made Rocks Landsat 8 (30 m) ASTER (15/30 m) WV 2-3 (1.2 / 3.7) WV 3 only DigitalGlobe Proprietary. DigitalGlobe. All rights reserved. 11

12 Sensor Introduction AVIRIS: Imaging Spectrometer: 224 bands VNIR-SWIR. Pixels vary: 2 to 20 m. Used to generate WV3 simulated spectra. ASTER Multispectral: 10 bands VNIR - SWIR. Pixels: 15, 30 m. SWIR failed. Landsat (8) Multispectral: 8 bands VNIR - SWIR. Pixels: 30 m. WorldView 3 Multispectral: 16 bands VNIR-SWIR. Pixels: 1.2, 3.7 m. CAVIS instrument for atmospheric retrievals.

30 Summary WV-3 has ASTER-like SWIR bands at high spatial resolution. Reflectance is Crucial! CAVIS helps calculate reflectance. SWIR tells us about rock type and materials. High resolution DEMs can be made from 1+ satellite passes. DEM + spectral analysis = useful data fusion. - Texture - Structure - Vertical and horizontal relationships - Rock categories or types - Alteration assemblages - Remote field logistics DigitalGlobe Proprietary.
