Satellite sensors have been extremely useful and are in massive demand the understanding of Earth’s surface monitoring changes. For quantitative analysis acquiring consistent measurements, absolute radiometric calibration is necessary. The most common vicarious approach cross-calibration, which helps to tie all a scale for measurement. One traditional methods cross-calibration performed using t...

Purpose This study explores the possibility of a new method for x-ray computed tomography (CT) calibration by means cross-calibration with proton CT (pCT) data. The proposed aims at more accurate conversion Hounsfield Units (HU) into stopping power ratio (SPR) relative to water be used in proton-therapy treatment planning. Methods X-ray scan was acquired on synthetic anthropomorphic phantom, co...

In order to choose correctly the dimension of calibration model in chemistry, a new simple and effective method named Ž . Monte Carlo cross validation MCCV is introduced in the present work. Unlike leave-one-out procedure commonly used in Ž . chemometrics for cross validation CV , the Monte Carlo cross validation developed in this paper is an asymptotically consistent method in determining the ...

Recently, some spaceborne polarimetric synthetic aperture radars, such as TerraSAR X (Xband), RADARSAR-2 (C-band) and PALSAR (L-band), are available to measure a scattering matrix of terrain and polarimetric data analysis techniques are being developed for terrain classification, forest biomass and soil moisture estimations, etc. Thus polarimetric calibration is necessary to obtain the accurate...

We demonstrate 4-channel, 2GHz weighted addition in a silicon microring filter bank. Accurate analog weight control becomes more difficult with increasing number of channels, N, as feedback approaches become impractical and brute force feedforward approaches take O(2N) calibration measurements in the presence of inter-channel dependence. We introduce model-based calibration techniques for therm...

In 2002, the MASAR (Malaysian Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar) project was initiated at Multimedia University (MMU), in collaboration with the Malaysian Centre for Remote Sensing (MACRES). The main objective of this project is to construct an instrument for earth resource monitoring in Malaysia. The proposed SAR system is a C-band, single polarization, linear frequency modulation radar. Befor...

This article describes a multiparameter calibration model, which improves the accuracy of density functional theory (DFT) for the prediction of standard enthalpies of formation for a large set of organic compounds. The model applies atom based, bond based, electronic, and radical environmental correction terms to calibrate the calculated enthalpies of formation at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level by a le...

EMISAR is a fully polarimetric, dual frequency (Land Cband) SAR system designed for remote sensing applications. The data are usually processed to 2x2 m resolution. The system has the capability of C-band cross-track single-pass interferometry and fully polarimetric repeat-pass interferometry. The SAR is operated at high altitudes on a Gulfstream G-3 jet aircraft. The system is very well calibr...

This paper describes theoretical details of a calibration method that addresses the problem of timing skew in timeinterleaved A/D converters. The algorithm utilizes an extra ADC outside the main signal path to estimate cross correlations between each sub-channel and samples taken along the calibration ADC’s ideal timing grid. Using the cross correlations, an iterative algorithm adjusts the samp...

This report presents the polarimetric calibration results of ALOS/PALSAR and discusses a stability of polarimetric calibration parameters during the calibration phase of ALOS and an influence of Faraday rotation on them. PALSAR is the first spaceborne polarimetric L-band synthetic aperture radar and its polarimetric data is expected to be utilized in various remote sensing applications. However...
