The PHL-Microsat Program is a three-year space research and development program that ran from 2014 to 2018. This page is maintained by its successor, STAMINA4Space.

Project 4

Calibration and Validation of Remote Sensing Instruments for the Philippine Microsatellite Program

Hosting Institution

Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry and the Department of Geodetic Engineering

University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, 1101 PHILIPPINES

+632-920-8924

Project Leader

Dr. Enrico Paringit

Objectives

To develop a calibration method to be applied for the remote sensing instrument.
To generate a set of calibration parameters for the remote sensing instrument to maintain image spectral fidelity and consistency.
To generate an authoritative spectral signature database/library of key ground objects of significance and/or importance that are especially endemic to the Philippine conditions.

Significance

Activities held by this project will ensure that the instruments onboard the PHL-MICROSAT are properly calibrated and validated so that they become ready for analysis for different applications.
