2. What is Pre-Processing?
correct distorted or degraded data
create a more faithful representation of the original scene
typically involves the initial processing of raw image data to correct for:

geometric distortions

calibrate the data radiometrically

eliminate noise present in the data


image restoration process highly dependent upon the characteristics of
the sensor used
normally precede further manipulation and analysis of the image data to
extract specific information

3.1. Geometric Correction

raw digital images usually contain geometric distortions so that they cannot
be used directly as a map base without subsequent processing

sources of geometric distortions:


variations in the altitude, attitude, and velocity of the sensor platform
panoramic distortion
earth rotation
earth curvature
atmospheric refraction
relief displacement
nonlinearities in the sweep of a sensors IFOV
etc.

3.2. Radiometric Correction

type of radiometric correction varies widely among sensors

sources of radiometric distortions:


changes in scene illumination
atmospheric conditions
viewing geometry
instrument response characteristics

need to perform correction for any or all of these influences depends


directly upon the particular application at hand

3.2. Radiometric Correction


Examples
Sun elevation correction:
accounts for the seasonal position of the sun relative to the earth
image data acquired under different illumination angles are
normalized by calculating pixel brightness values assuming the
sun was at the zenith on each date of sensing
Earth-sun distance correction:
applied to normalize for the seasonal changes in the distance
between the earth and the sun
Haze compensation:
procedures designed to minimize the influence of path radiance
effects

3.3. Noise Removal


unwanted disturbance in image data due to limitations in the sensing, signal
digitization, or data recording process

sources of noise:
periodic drift or malfuction of a detector
electronic interference between sensor components
intermitted hiccups in the data transmission and recording sequence
etc.

can either degrade or totolly mask the true radiometric information content
noise removal usually precedes any subsequent enhancement or
classifiaction process
objective is to restore an image to as close to the original scene as possible

3.3. Noise Removal

Result of applying noise reduction algorithm:


a: original image data with noise induced salt and
pepper appearance
b: image resulting from application of the filter
algorithm in (c)
(from Lillesand and Kiefer, 1999)

Typical noise correction algorithm


employing a 3x3 neighbourhood.
WEIGHT is an analyst specified
weighting factor. The lower the
weight, the greater the number of
pixels considered

3.4. Georeferencing
another important domain in pre-processing is georeferencing
geographic location is the element that distinguishes geographic
information from all other types
methods for specifying location on the earths surface are essential
to the creation of useful geographic information
georeferenced images contain information concerning spatial
location and pixel size, so that statements regarding distance
and area can be given
often image data is not correctly georeferenced
with the help of different data the spatial location can be addressed
to image data

3.4. Georeferencing

Goal of the exercise


Georeferencing of a Landsat scene which has no information
concerning spatial location. In this exercise another scene from the
same area is used as base for the georeferencing process. Especially
for change detection in vegetation cover it is important that two
satellite scenes fit exactly over each other. So this is an important
step in pre-processing remote sensing data.
