response. To this extent, the OFOV method can be viewed as a radiometric calibration<br />
procedure. It is worth mentionning that only the range of radiances contained in the bowtie<br />
region is corrected and additional processing is required to cover the entire dynamic<br />
range of the acquired signal. In our implementation, the equalization functions were <strong>de</strong>rived<br />
from measurements with scan angles higher than ±25˚. Linear and quadratic fitting<br />
computed on the selected images showed little differences and only first or<strong>de</strong>r polynomes<br />
were used. Radiance values not contained in the bowtie region were not equalized.<br />
3.5 Frequency filtering<br />
Frequency filtering methods has been wi<strong>de</strong>ly used for the elimination of stripes on<br />
satellite images. [Srinivasan et al., 1988] proposed a new approach for Landsat TM and<br />
MSS based on a spectral analysis of the stripe noise. Despite extensive research in this<br />
direction [Crippen, 1989], [Simpson et al., 1995], [Simpson et al., 1998], [Chen et al., 2003]<br />
and good visual results on GOES and Landsat sensors, frequency filtering can only be<br />
viewed as a cosmetic improvement. The smoothed results obtained with low-pass filtering<br />
can nonetheless be used as a reference to compare the performances of other <strong>de</strong>triping<br />
techniques. In this subsection, we briefly explore the application of frequency filtering on<br />
MODIS data.<br />
3.5.1 Spectral Analysis<br />
In most cases, striping can be consi<strong>de</strong>red as a periodic noise. The application of a lowpass<br />
filter (an averaging filter in the spatial domain for exemple) reduces the visual impact
