交叉定标中的不确定度分析及定标系数计算改进

一般交叉定标方法是利用普通最小二乘法的回归方式对时间、空间、观测几何、光谱匹配得到的近一致观测数据点对来计算定标系数,该方法忽略了各数据点对的质量差异,降低了定标系数的有效性。针对此问题,本文提出了基于不确定度计算的定标改进方法,利用不确定度分析方法计算数据点对中各辐射基准值的不确定度并给出权重系数,采用加权最小二乘法回归定标系数。选取与在研的基准载荷参数最为接近的HYPERION作为辐射基准替代载荷,分别利用普通最小二乘法和加权最小二乘法对MODIS CH1~7进行了定标,采用MODIS官方定标系数作为真值对定标结果进行验证。结果表明,采用加权最小二乘法对MODIS的1、2、4、5、6、7通道回归的定标系数更接近真值,定标结果的最大相对误差与传统方法相比降低了3%~5%,平均相对误差降低了0.5%~1.5%,说明本文的加权最小二乘法可进一步提升交叉定标精度。

Uncertainty analysis in cross-calibration and optimization calculation of calibration coefficients

The general cross-calibration method uses the ordinary least square method to regress the calibra-tion coefficient by data points selected after time,spatial,observation geometrics and spectral collocation.However,the ordinary least square algorithm would reduce the validity of the regressed result because of ignoring the differences in quality between each data point.An optimized method based on the calculation of uncertainty was proposed.This uncertainty analysis method was used to quantify the uncertainty of the radiation standard value for each data point,and their weight factors were calculated.The weighted least square method was used to regress the calibration coefficient.Using HYPERION as a radiance standard,the calibration coefficients of MODIS channels 1 to 7 were each regressed using the ordinary least squares method and the weighted least squares method.The regressed coefficients were compared with the official calibration coefficient.The results show that the calibration coefficients calculated using the weighted least squares method were closer to the official coefficients of MODIS channels 1,2,4,5,6,and 7.The maximum relative error reduced to 3%~5%and the average relative error decreased to 0.5%~1.5%compared with the ordinary least squares method,which indicates that the weighted least squares method proposed in this paper can further improve the calculation accuracy of cross-calibration.
