Abstract

MODIS sensor is a hyperspectral sensor on board of Terra and Aqua platforms and images every one or two days the entire surface of the Earth in 36 spectral bands. Over time, some detectors of these sensors show malfunctioning and some are stopped working. In this paper, using reflectance values of sounddetectors for the invariant surfaces, a linear relationis proposedto remove stripping from the images. In this method noise modification is done partially and because the technique only influences the noisy detectors and has no effect on other detectors, it is expected to have novelty.
