Simulated EnMAP Data
An end-to-end simulation tool EeteS has been developed in the frame of the Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) mission. EeteS is able to generate realistic EnMAP-like data and products in an automatic way under a set of user-driven instrumental and environmental parameters. However, the picture of reality is strongly determined by the simulation input data.
Simulated EnMAP data has been generated to support mission requirements consolidation and instrument concept development. For the optimization of system requirements and the derivation of expected error budgets, a careful simulation of reflectance, top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance and digital numbers (DNs) under different instrumental and environmental configurations is necessary.
Synthetic images can also be very useful as a test-bench for future algorithm development, both for the preprocessing chain and the scientific exploitation of the data. Therefore, simulated EnMAP data is provided to public for having a first glance on future hyperspectral EnMAP data products. A precise description of the generation of the simulated EnMAP data is given in the attached publications.
