Upcoming activities of isis in 2014
The ISIS working group has compiled and submitted two
full invited sessions for IGARSS 2014 in Quebec City,
Canada. One session will focus on the latest development
on spaceborne imaging spectrometer missions, while the
20

other session will be devoted to the issue of calibration
and validation. Details on both sessions are given below.
Session Title: International Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy Missions: Updates and News (I.33)
Proposal ID #554, ID #555
Session Chair: Mr. Andreas Mueller (DLR), Dr. Uta
Heiden (DLR)
This session is part of the IEEE GRSS International Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy (ISIS) TC. The ISIS aims at
exchanging information on hyperspectral satellite mission
activities worldwide. The scope of the session is to provide
the remote sensing community with an overview of the status of current and future spaceborne imaging spectroscopy
missions for terrestrial and aquatic applications. Besides the
mission and instrument payload concepts, the presentations will also provide insights into the various data policies
of the individual data providers. In general, this session will
provide a forum for discussions on all mission aspects and
potential cross-links between missions. (See Table 2.)
Session Title: Calibration and Validation and Standards
in Support of Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy Missions
Proposal ID #559, #524
Session Chair: C. Ong (CSIRO)
One of the fundamental underpinning activities for
Earth Observation (EO) is the calibration and validation
of EO sensors. Calibration and validation determines the
quality and integrity of the data provided by EO sensors
and has enormous downstream impacts on the accuracy
and reliability of EO products generated from the sensors.
Because of its importance, a theme on this subject was
initiated as part of the ISIS TC.
This session is therefore part of ISIS and has linkages
to the Earth Science Informatics and Image Analysis and
Data Fusion Technical Committees. The scope of the session is to provide the imaging spectroscopy community
with an overview of calibration and validation activities
for current and future spaceborne imaging spectroscopy
missions for terrestrial and aquatic applications. Besides
discussions on new cal/val concepts and strategies, the
session will also provide a forum for potential cross-calibration activities and data standard definitions where
possible data products and metadata standards for all
data levels may be discussed. (See Table 3.)
Workshop on calibration/validation of
spaceborne imaging spectrometers in 2014
The goal of this workshop is primarily to discuss practical
solutions for upcoming and planned imaging spectrometer
missions for on board and vicarious calibration and validation approaches. Based on the outcome of the workshop
references and guidelines shall be established to be used
in the planning of calibration and validation activities for
imaging spectrometer missions to be generically applicable
to a variety of missions and instruments.
Topics of the workshop may include:
