METROLOGY OF IMAGE PROCESSING IN SPECTRAL REFLECTANCE MEASUREMENT BY UAV
Abstract
Remote sensing based on unmanned airborne vehicles (UAVs) is rapidly developing field of technology. For many of potential UAV remote sensing applications, accurate reflectance measurements are required. Overall objective of our investigation is to develop a SI-traceable procedure for reflectance measurement using spectrometric image data collected by an UAV. In this article, our objective is to investigate the uncertainty propagation of image data post-processing. We will also present the first results of three traceable UAV remote sensing campaigns.
