A technique for sensor spectral response estimation of Sich-2 multispectral satellite system based on satellite imaging of the Eupatoria (Ukraine) ground calibration test site is presented. A special parameterization of spectral response function of multispectral sensor is suggested. Such parameterization allows to solve analytically a system of equations of optical radiation transfer. The procedure for precision ground-based measurements of surface spectral reflectance of area-type test objects within Eupatoria ground calibration test site in June 2012 is described in detail. Results of sensor spectral response evaluation of Sich-2 multispectral satellite system using actual imagery and ground spectrometry measurements are discussed. Accuracy of spectral sensitivity determination for multispectral sensors of Sich-2 satellite system was evaluated statistically. Systematic shift in the central wavelength toward long-wave region and systematic increase in the width of spectral bands were registered with respect to the nominal values. A possibility of multispectral sensors cross-calibration for Sich-2 (Ukraine) and the Meteor-M (Russia) satellite systems at the same ground calibration test sites in Ukraine is demonstrated.
Keywords: remote sensing of the Earth, satellite system, multispectral survey apparatus, spectral sensitivity, calibration, ground-based test object
