MATISSE
Advanced Modeling of the Earth for the Imaging and the Simulation of the Scenes and their Environment
Objective
The goal of MATISSE is the computation of spectral or integrated natural background radiance images. Natural backgrounds include the atmosphere, low and high altitude clouds, sea and land. The most particular functionality of the code is to take into account atmospheric spatial variability quantities (temperatures, mixing ratio, etc) along each line of sight of the image.
Applications
- Sensor design
- Target / background contrast computation
- ...
DOTA’s contribution
- Combination of skills in radiative transfer and computers
- Measurement campaigns for models validation by using DOTA's designed instruments (Timbre Poste, etc.)
