7 OLI On-Orbit Spatial Stability: Relative Gains via Lifetime Statistics 7
8 Data Available Over a sufficiently large sample of orbits, the Earth can be treated as a pseudo-random process. Averaging pixel response should show residual pixel differences to uniform illumination USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) stores linearized, background subtracted histogram statistics into their Trending Database These are Digital Counts before any absolute or relative gain correction is applied Relative gain estimation works best across scenes with both high scene mean high standard deviation Greenland Mali Ocean 8
9 Sahara Work Around 175/40 The Sahara Desert has high values in many bands, so it is a sample of the Global Distribution Using the average of 480 Available Scenes to find the average pixel column stats for each band 205/50 Then using the classic histogram method relative gains were calculation with FOV as reference RG i = L i L These relative gains were tested on a uniform scene over ice in Greenland 9
10 Coastal Aerosol (Band 1) 'LC LGN01': 'Greenland Ice' Default Histogram Stats 10
11 Coastal Aerosol (Band 1) 'LC LGN01': 'Greenland Ice' Default 11
12 Histogram Stats Coastal Aerosol (Band 1) 'LC LGN01': 'Greenland Ice' 12
13 Striping Coastal Aerosol (Band 1) The streaking metric was reduced dramatically in Band 1 Greenland S i = L i 1/2 L i 1 + L i+1 /L Current (Pre-launch) Histogram Relative Gains Mali Ocean 13
14 OLI ABSOLUTE CALIBRATION: PICS 14
15 OLI On-Orbit Calibration: PICS Absolute Cal Model Calibrated detector-based approach using Terra MODIS Spectral information based on Hyperion The absolute calibration model is of the form ρ LLLLL 4 λ, SSS, VVV = K λ ρ h λ f A (t) [1 SSS 33 m 1 λ VVV λ m 2 λ VVV 2 m 3 λ ] Where, K = scaling factor, ρ h = spectral content of the scene obtained using Hyperion f A (t) = atmospheric model The BRDF coefficients for view zenith angle were derived using Terra MODIS and was scaled to 30 degrees solar zenith angle The BRDF coefficients for view zenith angle were derived using Hyperion measurements (± 18 deg) 15/39
16 Landsat 8 Trending Over Libya 4 6 Collects over Libya 4 starting from April 16. Clouds were visible in 2 images along the South-East Region Trended with smaller ROIs to avoid cloud ~ 60 km x 40 km 16/39
17 OLI Calibration Results over Libya 4 In general, all the bands are within 3%. Higher Differences in Blue, Green and SWIR. Random uncertainty is within 1.5% and systematic uncertainty is within 3% for all bands. 17/39

28 Summary & Conclusions On-orbit Spatial Uniformity Very uniform sensor, difficult to find scenes with stripes; coastal aerosol band worst offender Side-slither and lifetime statistics methods are effective in removing striping to streaking metric < 0.2% Vicarious Absolute Calibration: Reflectance-based PICS-based abs cal shows 3% deviation in Coastal aerosol while hovering around 1% in other bands Vicarious approach shows 5% and 4% in Coastal Aerosol and Blue bands and under 3% in the rest Vicarious Absolute Calibration: Radiance-based Initial results indicate within 5% requirement On-Orbit Temporal Stability Very stable instrument in all bands with stim lamps and diffuser in good agreement; no long term degradation apparent. Worst case stability in Coastal Aerosol band with degradation of 0.6% since launch, all other bands at 0.2% 28
