Radiometric Calibration: Theory and Methods contains an engineering development of the theories and methods of radiometric calibration.This book is organized into 18 chapters. Chapters I to V present an introduction to nomenclature, radiation geometry, and blackbody radiation that serves to simplify the discussion of the calibration theory. The rest of the chapters provide the theory of sensor calibration, reviewing numerous examples in which laboratory equipment and specific techniques are described. Algorithms are also covered for digital computer processing as appropriate for each functional aspect of sensor characterization.This publication is intended for engineers and applied physicists concerned with sensor calibration and the interpretation of sensor data.
