GOCI image enhancement using an MTF compensation technique for coastal water applications
Abstract:
The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) is the first optical sensor in geostationary orbit for monitoring the ocean environment around the Korean Peninsula. This paper discusses on-orbit modulation transfer function (MTF) estimation with the pulse-source method and its compensation results for the GOCI. Additionally, by analyzing the relationship between the MTF compensation effect and the accuracy of the secondary ocean product, we confirmed the optimal MTF compensation parameter for enhancing image quality without variation in the accuracy. In this study, MTF assessment was performed using a natural target because the GOCI system has a spatial resolution of 500 m. For MTF compensation with the Wiener filter, we fitted a point spread function with a Gaussian curve controlled by a standard deviation value (σ). After a parametric analysis for finding the optimal degradation model, the σ value of 0.4 was determined to be an optimal indicator. Finally, the MTF value was enhanced from 0.1645 to 0.2152 without degradation of the accuracy of the ocean color product. Enhanced GOCI images by MTF compensation are expected to recognize small-scale ocean products in coastal areas with sharpened geometric performance.
