Liu Li; Fu Qiao-yan; Shi Ting-ting; Wang Ai-chun; Zhang Xue-wen (2014). Validation of HJ-1B Thermal Infrared Channels Onboard Radiometric Calibration Based on Spectral Response Differences. SPECTROSCOPY AND SPECTRAL ANALYSIS, 34(8), 2212-2217.

Abstract
Since HJ-1B was launched, 7 sets of blackbody data have been used to calculate onboard calibration coefficients, but the research work on the validation of coefficients is rare. According to the onboard calibration principle, calibration coefficients of HJ-1B thermal infrared channel on Sep 14th, 2009 were calculated with the half-width, moments and look-up table methods. MODIS was selected for the reference sensor, and algorithms of spectral match were improved between the HJ-1B thermal infrared channel and MODIS 31, 32 channels based on the spectral response divergence. The relationship of top of atmosphere (TOA) radiance between the remote sensors was calculated, based on which the surface leaving brightness temperature was calculated by Planck function to validate the brightness temperature calculated through the onboard calibration coefficients. The equivalent brightness temperature calculated by spectral response divergence method is 285. 97 K, and the inversion brightness temperature calculated by half-width, moments and look-up table methods is 288. 77, 274. 52 and 285. 97 K respectively. The difference between the inversion brightness temperature and the equivalent brightness temperature is 2. 8, -11. 46 and 0. 02 K, respectively, which demonstrate that onboard calibration coefficients calculated by the look-up table method has better precision and feasibility.
