Features
iCee™ restores spectral imagery to units of the material's actual reflectance
With this technology, spectral images, acquired by satellite or airborne sensors, are converted from digital number (DN) units to units of the material's actual reflectance - automatically. Testing conducted by AAI using images with target ground truth yielded calibrated results within 5 percentage points of the material's actual reflectance.
This product addresses one of the key requirements for retrieving detailed and quantitatively defensible information from spectral imagery. The atmosphere and sensor distort the image-reported spectral properties of the material on the ground, and these effects need to be suppressed in order to retrieve actual material reflectance properties. This is critical to enabling accurate materials identification and quantitatively defensible assessments. iCee™ Atmospheric Correction is unique in the industry with respect to accuracy, repeatability, and full automation. It is the critical first enabling step for all of AAI's other spectral image analysis technologies and the generation of its information products. In addition to its role as a core enabling technology for AAI's line of image analysis products, iCee™ automated atmospheric correction is also available as a product on its own.
