Radiance-To-Reflectance Conversion - Processor Description

Please note: The chapter BEAM Scientific Data Processors provides a general description for all BEAM data processors. It describes the common graphical user interface (GUI), the command-line interface and the common processing request file format.

Radiance Conversion I/O Parameters Tab

  1. Input product file: Select the input product file by either typing the product path into the text filed or by pressing the file selection button to invoke a standard file dialog.
  2. Output product file: Select the output product file by either typing the product path into the text filed or by pressing the file selection button to invoke a standard file dialog.
  3. Output product format: Select one of the available output product formats.
  4. Log filename prefix: Select the prefix text used for the logfile written during processing. For a complete description of the logging capabilities please refer to the logging documentation.
  5. Extra log to output directory: Select whether to write an additional log file to the directory selected tfor the output product.

Radiance Conversion Processing Parameters Tab

  1. Bands: Select one or more radiance bands that should be converted into reflectances. Press "Shift" when clicking in the list to select a range of bands. Press "Ctrl" when clicking in the list to add a single band to the selection (only available when an input product is already selected).
  2. Copy selected bands to output product: Check this option to copy all selected radiance bands to the output product.
