The existing methods in atmospheric correction of hyperspectral data usually focus on removing the effects of water vapor and other absorptive gases, while this paper mainly studies the method of re- moving the influence of the aerosol and the water vapor simultaneously. Because the hyperspectral data has a larger number of bands, the conventional dark object method cannot be applied to the at- mospheric correction of the hyperspectral data which can be improved, as described in this paper, by adequately making use of spectral characteristics of the hyperspectral data with an iterative correction during the whole process. The effects of the aerosol and water vapor are eliminated at the same time finally. The improved dark object method is used to do the atomospheric correction of the Hyperion data in Yanzhou, Shandong Province as an example. And the result indicates that it can correct the atmospheric influence of the hyperspectral data quickly and remarkably.
The HJ-1A satellite was successfully launched on September 6, 2008. The inclusion of a HyperSpectral Imager (HSI) as one of the payloads of the HJ-1A Satellite is a major milestone in the field of the remote sensing in China. It is also the first Fourier transform imaging spectrometer routinely used to acquire scientific data from a satellite orbiting Earth. This paper briefly introduces the basic imaging theories of the spatially modulated Fourier transform imaging spectrometer, and then discusses the theoretical analysis and algorithms of spectrum reconstruction. Results of the operational spectrum reconstruction for the raw data of the HJ-1A satellite Fourier transform HSI are presented. At present, the algorithms and processing flow have been used successfully in the Ground Data Processing System (GDPS) built by the China Center for Resource Satellite Data and Applications (CRESDA).
