Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 18:
19. A method of calibrating a remote sensing system, the method comprising:
measuring a solar radiance, an atmospheric transmission, and a reflectance of a surface using a multi-channel field spectral radiometer by manipulating a field of view of the multi-channel field spectral radiometer while collecting radiometric data, wherein the multi-channel field spectral radiometer comprises a remote sensing head coupled to a base via a deployment arm, the multi-channel field spectral radiometer receiving light within the remote sensing head and providing light to detectors of an instrumentation assembly attached to the base;
reflecting solar light towards the remote sensing system via a reflector array;
receiving an image signal from the remote sensing system generated from the reflected solar light; and
adjusting the image signal based on at least one of the solar radiance, the atmospheric transmission, the reflectance of the surface measured via the multi-channel field spectral radiometer.
