Airborne Processing Library (APL)
• Software suite developed to process ARSF hyperspectal data– Radiometric calibration– Geocorrection
• Cross purpose – in-house + end user– Windows, Linux– Graphical User Interface or Command Line
![Page 7: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Point of View of ARSF user
• ARSF data delivered at “level 1”– Radiometric calibration– Navigation synchronisation– [2012 onwards also delivered mapped]
• User can apply additional algorithms– e.g. Atmospheric correction
• User can geocorrect the data with APL– Produce maps of data
![Page 8: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Unmapped data
• Little Rissington Airfield
• Difficult to find targets– Distortions– Direction of flight– No fixed X,Y coordinates
• Geocorrection can help
![Page 9: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Geocorrection – What?
• What is it?– Associating position information– Mapping to a real-world projection
• Benefits of geocorrecting / mapping– Easier to identify targets– Compare data from other map sources
• Limitations of geocorrecting / mapping– Can introduce different distortions– Can give misleading results
![Page 10: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Geocorrected / Mapped data
![Page 11: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Geocorrection – How?
• Stage 1 – create the mapping– Position / attitude / sensor pixel vectors– Per-pixel position information
• Stage 2 – resample data– Output pixel size– Interpolation– Fill the mapped grid using stage 1 mapping
![Page 12: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Geocorrection Limitations for Airborne Data
• Airborne RS data usually localised areas– Projection internal distortion not big issue
• Platform stability– Wind / atmospheric buffeting – Roll / pitch / yaw
• Position accuracy– GPS constellation + ground stations
• Sensor – Stability of sensor head (internal movements)– Lens distortions
![Page 13: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Potential Error Sources – In the Data
• Level 1 data– Navigation
• Position accuracy – lateral shift
• Synchronisation – distortions and shifts
![Page 14: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Zoom – synchronisation error
![Page 15: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Potential Error Sources – In the Data
• Auxiliary data– Digital Elevation Model – per-pixel positional errors– More accurate DEM the better
![Page 16: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Potential limiting sources – Mapping 1
• Pixel size– Try and stay similar to spatial resolution
• Related to aircraft height above surface
– Size effects• Too small - repeated data (not more data!)
• Too large - lost data
• 'Blocky' image
![Page 17: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Pixel size
• 3 images at the same zoom level– 10m pixel – shows lost data– 2m pixel– 0.5m pixel – shows repeated data
![Page 18: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Potential limiting sources – Mapping 2
• Interpolation– Required for transformation from 1 grid to another– Nearest neighbour
• Guarantees 'real' observed values
• 'blocky' image
– Bilinear / Bicubic• Unobserved (maybe unrealistic) values
• Smoothed data, visually pleasing image
• Problems with in-situ data comparisons
![Page 19: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Interpolation
• Nearest Neighbour vs Cubic
![Page 20: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
RSPSoc 2012 – Greenwich
Atmospheric Correction
• Atmospheric Correction– Level 1 vs Mapped geometries– More spectral coverage the better
• Problem: separate Eagle / Hawk– Combine the spectra– Problems
• Different spatial resolution
• Different look vectors
• Different swath widths
– Partial geocorrection of both and combine nearest points
![Page 21: ARSF Data Processing Consequences of the Airborne Processing Library](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815025550346895dbe0ef3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Potential limiting sources – Mapping 3
• Multiple bands and Masking– Masking data
• Insert a “null” value
• Interpolated over
– Multiple bands• Spectral analysis
– incorrect profile if some bands masked
• Assumes sensor view vectors same for each band
