Deal or NoDeal?

 

  • It shall be seen that an acceptable calibration which yields acceptable results
    • is a fuzzy concept in respect of the many parameters involved
    • even though we are using a simplified radiative transfer model
  • What is important is NOT
    • that a physically exact calibration has been achieved
    • leave that for the big boys at NRL
  • Rather what is important to US
    • is that a coherent set of calibration parameters be assembled
    • so that an acceptable and useful result be produced : DTM and bottom type classification
    • using only the image
  • 4SM offers an integrated set of ergonomic tools to achieve that
    • within a short time frame
