Abstract

The laboratory characterization of the optical and radiometric properties of the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO) is presented. It is shown the as-built sensor meets or exceeds the design parameters necessary to meet the stringent requirements imposed by maritime hyperspectral imaging. The results confirm that in general, the design parameters have been satisfied and the measured system response and signal to noise ratio is shown to match the sensor model. The results are discussed.
