Cal/Val

ALOS-3 Calibration and Validation

ALOS-3 Calibration/Validation and Science Team

The ALOS-3 CVST (Calibration/Validation and Science Team) will conduct the following research on calibration/validation of standard products and maintenance of validation data (calibration/validation) as one of the themes of the EORC Earth Observation Research Announcement.

  • * Methods of calibration, validation, and accuracy improvement for standard products
  • * Assessing accuracy and applicability of standard products from the initial Cal/Val phase to the beginning of the operational phase
  • * Development and sharing of high-level products and analysis tools for fundamental applications
  • * Experiment and demonstration using new features and methods of ALOS-3 i.e. application development using two new multispectral channels, improvement of cloud detection, sophisticated atmospheric correction, 3-D location measurement using two observation paths data or large base-to-height ratio, sophisticated multitemporal analysis, automatic image interpretation, robust method using machine learning/deep learning)
  • * Research on new technology for future missions
