Получаване и обработка на спектрални сателитни изображения със средна резолюция от Европейската агенция за космическа изследвания

Abstract

The article is about the European Space Agency Satellite Data Dissemination System and the laboratory of the European Space Agency in Burgas Free University. The ENVISAT MERIS instrument (spectrometer with medium resolution) is also considered. The Program fragment, developed in the MATLAB environment, for reading and processing the spectral images with full resolution (MER_FR_1P) and which contains 15 spectral bands is presented. The proposed methodology can be used in many scientific experiments by using the real satellite spectral data distributed by ESA until the end of the ENVISAT satellite mission in 2013. This is realized in realtime, with a delay of 3 hours after the images acquisition.
