Statistical Linear Destriping of Satellite-Based Pushbroom-Type Images

This paper introduces a new self-calibration destriping technique for pushbroom-type satellite imaging systems. Self-calibration means that no specific training data are required. It is based on the statistical estimation of each detector gain from the observed image, assuming a linear response. Both theoretical and practical behaviors are studied. Our technique is shown to outperform simpler techniques based on column averages in terms of gain estimation precision while keeping the computational cost within admissible limits.
