Description
This program is used to radiometrically correct flight images using a linear
model of the light-transfer function. This program is specific to the
Galileo SSI camera.

This program will radiometrically correct the input image, converting the
input DN values to some specified radiometric unit. The program
requires a radiometric file generated from calibration data acquired at
the same filter position as the input image, and a dark-current file
acquired at the same camera gain-state, frame-rate, PNI, and BPM
settings. Also, extended exposure mode frames require an
extended-exposure mode dark-current file.
This program extracts the filter position, exposure time, and frame-rate
from the label of the input file to determine the required gain file
to use. The file $ISIS3DATA/galileo/calibration/gll_gain.sav defines the
gain file to use for the given filter, gain state, and frame mode. The file
$ISIS3DATA/galileo/calibration/gll_dc.sav defines the DC file to use for the given, gain
state, frame mode, frame rate, blemish protection mode, clock mode, and
extended exposure mode.
This program performs the following processing steps on each pixel:
1. The radiometric correction is applied:
e = z(d - dc)
where z is retrieved from the Radiometric File and dc is retrieved
from the Dark-Current File.
2. The output pixel is scaled to radiometric units R.
S1 K
r = e * -------- * --- (D/5.2)**2
A1(t-to) Ko
where
S1 = filter-dependent conversion factor from ft-Lamberts to
I/F units for a reference distance of 5.2 AU from the Sun.
t = commanded exposure time of the input image (msec).
to = line-dependent shutter offset.
K = system gain constant for the gain-state of the image.
Ko = system gain constant for the calibration file gain-state.
D = target distance from the Sun (in AU).
5. The output DN is usually in the range of
0.0 to 1.0.
If the uneven bit weighting correction is enabled, the input DN values (d)
will be corrected for uneven-bit-weighting due to the ADC. If the input
dark-current file is in byte format (i.e. an individual dark-current frame),
then the correction will be applied to the dark-current as well. The current
correction table was supplied by Herb Breneman, 2 Mar 89, and is based on
1975 calibration data.
