    Hello, I'm trying to make a radiometric correction of a Geoeye-1 image using ENVI 4.8 and FLAASH. Due to the lack of an automatic method to transform Digital Values to Radiance, I want to do it by myself applying the formula: Lλ = Gainλ *DNλ + Offsetλ where λ is Specific spectral band of image: Near-IR, Red, Green, Blue or Panchromatic.; Lλ is Spectral radiance for band λ at the sensor’s aperture (mW/cm2/μm/str); Gainλ is the Radiometric calibration gain (mW/cm2/μm/str/DN) for band λ from product metadata; DNλ is Digital number values for band λ of image product; and Offsetλ is Radiometric calibration offset (mW/cm2/μm/str) for band λ from product metadata. Is this equivalent to the usual formula Lλ = absCalFactor * Dnλ applied to other satellites/devices, i.e QuickBird? If it is so, do i still need to divide the result by the Effective Bandwith ?λ to reach the Top-of-Atmosphere Radiance which FLAASH demand as input? Thanks in advance

    I would contact GeoEye directly regarding the calibration of Geoeye data. They should be able to provide you with documentation on this.

    Hi juanjcn! Did you get some advice from GeoEye company? I applied the ecuation of Podger et al. (2011) : L?=Gain*DN? + Offset?. L?=mW/cm2/μm/sr. A GeoEye technician suggested me to reed this paper. But now, I have problems because my pixel values become negative after FLAASH. I have tried to change the scale factor using 1, 10 and 10000. But none of these have worked. And I can't contact the support service of GeoEye, because my image is a donation. Something have worked well for you with your GeoEye-1 Pre-processing? Could you help me please. Thanks.
