48 3. Standard <strong>de</strong>striping techniques and application to MODIS<br />
Figure 3.6 – (Left) Noisy image from Terra MODIS band 27 (Right) Image <strong>de</strong>striped<br />
with histogram matching (IMAPP)<br />
used to establish the 8 <strong>de</strong>tectors normalization curves. The look-up table was then successfully<br />
applied to <strong>de</strong>stripe an in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt image collected two weeks later on June 1,<br />
1988.<br />
More recently, this approach was adopted by [Xiaoxiang et al., 2007] for the <strong>de</strong>striping of<br />
CMODIS (SZ-3 Chinese MODIS) data.<br />
It is currently implemented in the NASA IMAPP (International MODIS/AIRS Processing<br />
Package) software and distributed by the university of Madison-Wisconsin for MODIS<br />
users (http ://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/imapp/). Additional features specific to MODIS data<br />
have been inclu<strong>de</strong>d in the software. Two sets of look-up tables were <strong>de</strong>veloped for both<br />
Terra and Aqua MODIS, and their application <strong>de</strong>pends on the acquisition date of images to<br />
be <strong>de</strong>triped. The comparative study of section 3.8 uses the histogram matching technique<br />
implemented in the NASA IMAPP software.<br />
3.4 Overlapping Field-of-View Method<br />
The Overlapping Field-of-View method (OFOV) was specifically <strong>de</strong>signed for MODIS.<br />
Its basic principle was introduced by [Antonelli et al., 2004] and recently examined by<br />
[di Bisceglie et al., 2009]. This technique relies on another artifact of MODIS, the bowtie<br />
effect. When the scan angle of the mirror increases, the actual resolution of pixels also<br />
increases due to the earth curvature. The nominal resolution of a pixel is 1 × 1 km at<br />
Nadir and reaches 4.8 × 2km at the begining and ending of every scan, which correspond<br />
to scan angles of ±55˚. As a result of pixel resolution growth, a swath will cover an<br />
exten<strong>de</strong>d area of 20km along track at scan extremums, causing overlaps with previous<br />
and next swaths (figure 3.7a). Areas affected with the bowtie effect will display i<strong>de</strong>ntical
