Incorporation of texture in multispectral synthetic image generation tools

Abstract

The Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Synthetic Image Generation (DIRSIG) model emphasizes quantitative prediction of the radiance reaching sensors with bandpass values between 0.28 and 20.0 jim. The model embodies a rigorous end-to-end speciral modeling of radiation propagation, absorption and scattering, target temperatures based on meteorological history, extensive directional target-background interactions and detector responsivities.1 This paper describes texture quantification, the spectral-spatial correlation of textures, texture collection and generation methods. Finally, we will describe how DIRSIG generates texture on a pixel by pixel basis and maintains the spectral correlation of targets between bands.
