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
