I am designing a software system for ordering satellite imagery in a way that by entering the specifications of the satellite orbit and its optical sensor, as well as the target ground area, it can determine the required time for the satellite camera to turn on.
To ensure that the weather conditions above the target area are suitable for satellite optical sensor imaging, can I use the PCMODWIN4 software???
In fact, I will perform the following steps:
Of course it's possible, MODTRAN can simulate the radiance observed by satellites, which can input some atmospheric profiles and aerosol data. It is best to carefully read the relevant help files to set the parameters. In addition, you also need to input the solar zenith angle, satellite observation attitude, and camera spectral response function to obtain the radiance. Based on your own sensor response characteristics, set the gain, level, and exposure time parameters
