Abstract

China’s first civilian, sub-meter, high-resolution stereo mapping satellite, GF-7, launched on 3 November 2019. Radiometric characterization of GF-7 multispectral imagery has been performed in this study. A relative radiometric accuracy evaluation of the GF-7 multispectral imagery was performed using several large uniform scenes, and the results showed that the accuracy is better than 2%. The absolute radiometric evaluation of the GF-7 satellite sensor was conducted at the Baotou and Dunhuang calibration sites, using the reflectance-based vicarious approach. The synchronous measurements of surface reflectance and atmospheric parameters were collected as the input for the radiative transfer model. The official radiometrically calibrated coefficient of the GF-7 multispectral imagery was evaluated with the predicted top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance from the radiative transfer model. The results indicated that the absolute radiometric accuracy of GF-7 multispectral imagery is better than 5%. In order to monitor the radiometric stability of the GF-7 satellite multispectral sensor, a relative and absolute radiometric accuracy assessment campaign should be performed several times a year.
