Description:
Return beam vidicon tube calibration data are used to correct spatially non-uniform radiance response in individual vidicons, during post-acquisition signal processing. However, examination of different ERTS-1 RBV-1, -2, and -3 image scenes showed stationary, repetitive residual inaccuracies in shading correction, large enough to affect qualitative and quantitative image analyses. Photographic masks designed to reduce residual shading were prepared from RBV-1, -2, and -3 images of a relatively cloud-free ocean scene of uniform reflectance. When applied to other RBV scenes, the masks enabled more closely corrected RBV images to be printed. Illustrations are given of RBV-1 image before and after correction, compared with an equivalent MSS spectral image of the same scene.
