Radiometric Calibration

Radiometric calibration is the process of adjusting the measurements of light and radiation captured by sensors, such as cameras and satellites, to ensure they accurately reflect the true intensity of the radiation being measured. This calibration corrects for factors like sensor differences, environmental conditions, and distance from the source. By standardizing these measurements, scientists and engineers can obtain reliable data for applications like environmental monitoring, climate studies, and remote sensing, ensuring the information collected can be trusted and compared across different times and locations.
