Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for correcting spatial response for an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer comprises the following steps: a prior step of calculation of the equalization parameters comprising a gain and an offset from data forming calibration scenes; a step of determination of equalization coefficients at a so-called pseudo superpixel level determining the gains and offsets at macropixel level from the data from a raw image that are collected by the imaging spectrometer in image mode, and gains and offsets determined in the prior step; and a step of equalization at pseudo superpixel level, applying the equalization coefficients to a macropixel from an acquisition in the interferogram mode of the imaging spectrometer in order to restore an equalized interferogram.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for correcting spatial response for an imaging Fourier transform spectrometer having at least one mode of operation called interferometric mode consisting in acquiring interferograms, the interferometric mode having a first spatial resolution corresponding to the dimension of one macropixel, one macropixel being made up of several pixels of an array of a detector placed in an image plane, and a mode of operation called image mode consisting in…
