Image Processing Chains for ALOS and EnMAP Data: Similarities and Differences

The Earth Observation Center (EOC) of DLR realizes processors for ALOS and EnMAP high-resolution optical remote sensing satellite missions. The functional and developmental similarities and differences of the DLR processors are analyzed. It turns out that despite or precisely because of pan-chromatic and multispectral versus hyperspectral imaging as well as the post- versus pre-launch establishment of the DLR processing chains, both activities strongly benefit from each other
