Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

    Area of Science:

    • Remote Sensing
    • Atmospheric Optics
    • Oceanography

    Background:

    • The Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) atmospheric correction algorithm is crucial for deriving ocean color data.
    • Previous studies indicated potential errors in the CZCS algorithm when applied to sensors with higher radiometric sensitivity.
    • Multiple scattering effects are a significant source of error in atmospheric correction algorithms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze errors in the CZCS atmospheric correction algorithm caused by multiple scattering.
    • To provide CZCS users with information to assess algorithm efficacy and error impact.
    • To investigate the behavior of the atmospheric correction parameter (epsilon') under various conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed analysis of multiple scattering errors in the CZCS atmospheric correction algorithm.
    • Radiative transfer modeling in a stratified atmosphere over a Fresnel reflecting ocean.
    • Analysis conducted in scan coordinates to elucidate errors along CZCS scan lines.

    Main Results:

    • The primary error source is the assumption of separate molecular and aerosol radiance contributions.
    • Significant variations in the atmospheric correction parameter (epsilon') were observed with scan angle and aerosol optical thickness.
    • Worst-case errors in Band 1 were 2.7-5.4 counts due to scan angle variation for marine aerosols.

    Conclusions:

    • The CZCS algorithm generally performs with required accuracy for limited subscenes.
    • Estimating epsilon' at each pixel is highly desirable for improved accuracy.
    • A 5% reduction in epsilon' in the blue band sufficiently decreased retrieval errors for water-leaving radiance.
