Abstract

The project CHRIS/Proba Toolbox for BEAM (CHRIS-Box) has been developed in order to support users of data from the CHRIS sensor onboard of ESA´s Proba platform. BEAM and the CHRIS-Box are user tools which ESA/ESRTN are providing free of charge to the Earth Observation Community. The CHRIS-Box software provides extensions for BEAM that allows accomplishing the following tasks: a) Noise reduction to remove the vertical striping and other noise present in CHRIS response-corrected images; b) Cloud screening to mark cloudy pixels in CHRIS noise-corrected images; the cloud screening algorithm provides cloud probability and abundances for each pixel; c) Atmospheric correction that provides surface reflectance without external information; and d) Geometric correction that provides geographic coordinates for each pixel of a CHRIS image.
