摘要

The Ocean Color Monitor-3 (OCM-3), launched aboard Oceansat-3, represents a significant advancement in ocean observation technology, building upon the capabilities of its predecessors. With thirteen spectral bands, OCM-3 enhances feature identification and atmospheric correction, enabling precise data collection from a sun-synchronous orbit. Operating at an altitude of 732.5 km, the satellite achieves high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) through sophisticated onboard and ground processing techniques, including advanced geometric modeling for pixel registration. The OCM-3 processing pipeline, consisting of multiple levels, ensures rigorous calibration and correction of radiometric and geometric data. This paper presents key methodologies such as dark data modeling, photo response non-uniformity correction, and smear correction, which are employed to enhance data quality. The effective implementation of ground time delay integration (TDI) allows for the refinement of SNR, with evaluations demonstrating that performance specifications were exceeded. Geometric calibration procedures, including band-to-band registration and geolocation accuracy assessments, which further optimize data reliability are presented in the paper. Advanced image registration techniques leveraging Ground Control Points (GCPs) and residual error analysis significantly reduce geolocation errors, achieving precision within specified thresholds. Overall, OCM-3’s comprehensive calibration and processing strategies ensure high-quality, reliable data crucial for ocean monitoring and change detection applications, facilitating an improved understanding of ocean dynamics and environmental changes.
