4.3. Radiometric Correction Data

DN values can be converted into Radiance as follows.

  L = A V /G + D (VNIR and SWIR bands)
  L = AV + CV2 + D (TIR bands)

Where   L: radiance (W/m2/sr/μm)

  A : linear coefficient
  C : nonlinear coefficient
  D : offset
  V : DN value
  G : gain


The radiometric correction table can be extracted from the HDF file. Figures 4-4 shows the structure of radiometric coefficients. Figure 4-5 shows the relationship between detector number and image pixel position. Note that this relationship is reversed for the VNIR and SWIR bands: the detector #1 corresponds to the left end column pixels for VNIR bands, while it corresponds to the right end column pixels for SWIR bands.
