YSBAT     Image Restoration     03-27-07

- Describe the systematic "internal" geometric distortions: scan skew and panoramic effects

- Describe the path orientation and spatial referencing associated with images from polar satellites, and how this skew distortion is fixed to create map orientated images

- Identify random geometric distortions, and describe how they are monitored

- Describe radiometric amplification and inter-detector gain

- Describe what Lmin/Lmax or offset (a0) and gain (a1) represent, and how a user can use them recover absolute radiance values

- Describe the systematic radiometric distortions sun-elevation and sun-earth distance, and describe generally how they are corrected

- Describe the systematic radiometric distortion specifically related to topography, and generally how it is corrected

- Describe the 5 major random radiometric distortions (line drop out, striping, random noise, bright target recovery and haze) and generally how each are corrected
