THE SDSU Image Processing Laboratory was started in 1988 to conduct research in satellite image processing.  The projects have been primarily funded by EROS Data Center, SD, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, MD, and NASA Stennis Space Center, MS.

The research work mainly focuses on satellite radiometry of Landsat 4, 5 and 7.  Radiometric calibration of satellites involves characterization and correction of systematic degradations affecting the imagery.  These degradations are caused by instrumentation and the Earth's atmosphere. Our work allows users to extract more information from remotely sensed data. Currently, we are working on ALIAS (Advanced Land Imager- Image Assessment System) and TMIAS (Thematic Mapper- Image Assessment System) developments. The above mentioned projects are in joint collaboration with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and EROS Data Center.

With NASA Stennis Space Center, we estimate radiometry accuracy, geometry errors, and spatial image quality using the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF).
