AVHRR Calibration and Georeferencing [message #44248]

Hi,

I have an AVHRR file that I want to first calibrate and then georeference
using IDL (and ENVI).

Thanks to the 'envi_avhrr_calibrate_doit' I can input an AVHRR file and
get it calibrated. The output of this function is a file of type ENVI.

Now, there is also an 'envi_avhrr_geometry_doit' function that does what
georeferencing is needed, however, the input file to that function must be
of type AVHRR.

The problem I'm facing is that I cannot input the file that I calibrate
using the 'envi_avhrr_calibrate_doit' function (since it is of type ENVI
and needs to be of type AVHRR).

I'd be grateful if someone could help me come up with a solution to this
problem.

Thanks very much,

Vinit

I don't know anything about AVHRR processing, but couldn't you
georeference before you calibrate? I took a quick look at the geometry
doit, and it seems like it just computes some output bands that you'd
use to do the georeferencing with, without actually changing the
original level 1b image file. So it seems to me you could call the
georeferencing doit, then calibrate the input file, then georeference
the resulting calibrated image with the output bands of the
georeferencing routine.

Hi Vinit,

I have done ealborated work on AVHRR in IDL. Have u tried IDL. Please
send me the full problem and requirement in details

Hi Jeff,

I tried georeferencing the original AVHRR file first using the
'envi_avhrr_geometry_doit' function. The problem is that the processed
file is of type ENVI. (I wrote a small program to test the type of the
output file). So I assume that the 'envi_avhrr_geometry_doit' function
changes the file (from AVHRR to ENVI) after processing by default.
Maybe there is a way to circumvent this problem but I don't know enough
to make that call. The 'envi_avhrr_calibrate_doit' function specifially
requires an input file of type AVHRR - so it doesn't process the
georeferenced file. In short, I'm back to square one.

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Vinit

P.S: I'm a programmer - so I don't know anything about AVHRR processing
too! :-)

Hi Jeff,

Thanks very much for your reply. Sorry for the delay in getting back to
you though. I will try out your suggestion and see if that works.

Thanks,

Vinit

Hi Vinesh,

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for your offer to help me out. I finally figured out the problem
though.

To answer your question: yes, I am indeed programming in IDL.

Thanks very much,

Vinit

envi_avhrr_geometry_doit does not actually georeference the input
file. You would use envi_avhrr_warp_doit for that purpose. You should
probably read the documentation more carefully. Put ENVI_AVHRR* in the
search and read about the routines that pop up
