The invention discloses a method for multi-
spectral radiation calibration of an unmanned aerial vehicle in the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle
remote sensing, an existing unmanned aerial vehicle can obtain hundreds of images or even thousands of images in one sort. Only a plurality of images containing reference objects with known
reflectivity exist, and the application of
radiation correction coefficients obtained by only several reference objects to all the images is obviously unreasonable due to the continuous change of
illuminance and shooting angles of the unmanned aerial vehicle during flight. The method comprises the following steps: 1, measuring a
radiation spectrum by a micro
spectrometer; mounting a
spectrometer behind a diffuser optical element to provide a near-Lambert
field of view, and outputting
irradiance in absolute units according to the ASD FieldSpec Pro calibration
system; 2, in order to measure the
irradiance at different inclination angles, installing three RGB + Pan photodiodes on the frame, wherien each
photodiode inclines by 10 degrees from the
zenith to the opposite direction; and 3, like a
spectrograph, dismounting the photoelectric tube from adiffuser, and
irradiance output is calibrated.
