Detector differences are noticeable
Dead or out-of-family detectors must be handled
Multiple samples along track introduce bowtie distortion
Spectral information:
Many interdependent bands
How to utilize all the spectral information?
Data rate:
Orders of magnitude larger than heritage sensors

MODIS Bowtie Artifacts
Consecutive “bowtie” shaped scans are contiguous at nadir, and overlap as scan angle increases…

Bowtie Artifacts
1. Are not a ‘problem’: they are a consequence of the sensor design
2. Can be removed for visualization purposes by reprojecting the image onto a map
3. Do not affect science algorithms that run on a pixel-by-pixel basis or within one earth scan

Mirror Side Striping (Band 8, 0.41 m)
Side 0
Side 1
Reflectance, emissivity, or polarization of each scan mirror side not characterized correctly.
Can be corrected.

Noisy Detectors (Band 34, 13.6 m)
Detectors are noisy on a per frame basis and unpredictable from scan to scan.
Difficult to correct.

Saturation (Band 2, 0.87 m)
Signal from earth scene is too large for 12 bit digitization with current gain settings.
Workaround available.

Destriping
![Page 23: MODIS Sensor Characteristics & Hydra](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061612/56814624550346895db3306d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
MODIS Destriping
Striping is a consequence of the calibration algorithm, where each detector is calibrated independently. If the instrument were characterized perfectly, there would be no striping.
However, it is not possible to characterize the instrument perfectly because of time, cost, and schedule constraints.
As a result, striping artifacts are introduced by:
• Two-side scan mirror is not characterized perfectly• Detectors behavior can change in orbit (bias, spectral response)• Detectors may be noisy
The challenge is to design a destriping algorithm which is effective, fast, and insensitive to instrument changes.

HYDRA enables interrogation of multispectral (and hyperspectral) fields of data so that
(a) pixel location and spectral measurement values can be easily displayed;
(b) spectral channels can be combined in linear functions and the resulting images displayed;
(c) false color images can be constructed from multiple channel combinations;
(d) scatter plots of spectral channel combinations can be viewed;
(e) pixels in images can be found in scatter plots and vice versa;
(f) transects of measurements can be displayed, and
(g) soundings of temperature and moisture as well as spectra from selected pixels can be compared.
