Abstract

Calibration and validation (Cal and Val) is one of the most important quality assurance means for satellite payload performance and data quality which has actually restricted RS applicable scope. It has aroused various attentions from academia and industries in recent few decades. The challenges include the lack of consistent RS assessment standard, the uncertainties introduced by atmospheric effect, as well as the gaps in non-synchronous measurements between satellite and field observation. As one of the countries which launched the largest number of earth observation satellites/payloads in last five years, China engaged to solve various challenges of Cal and Val for quantitative RS applications. Several reprehensive works were introduced, including the development of remote sensing technology standardization, the stepwise Cal and Val system, China’s Baotou comprehensive Cal/Val site, automatic in-situ calibration exploration, etc. All these works mitigated the uncertainties of RS measurement and enhanced the precision of quantitative remote sensing.
