Landsat-8 Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) Vicarious Radiometric Calibration

Abstract: Launched in February 2013, the Landsat-8 carries on-board the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS), a two-band thermal pushbroom imager, to maintain the thermal imaging capability of the Landsat program. The TIRS bands are centered at roughly 10.9 and 12 μm (Bands 10 and 11 respectively). They have 100 m spatial resolution and image coincidently with the Operational Land Imager (OLI), also on-board Landsat-8. The TIRS instrument has an internal calibration system consisting of a variable temperature blackbody and a … Show more

“…Prior to the early-2014 update, users might subtract 0.29 W/(m 2 ·sr·μm) from every TIRS Band 10 calibrated radiance value and 0.51 W/(m 2 ·sr·μm) for every TIRS Band 11 calibrated radiance value to provide values closer (on average) to the actual radiances. The root mean square (RMS) variability in the required adjustment was roughly 0.12 W/(m 2 ·sr·μm) (0.8 K) for Band 10 and 0.2 W/(m 2 ·sr·μm) (1.75 K) for Band 11 [15]. Moreover, the USGS pointed out that, given the larger uncertainty in the Band 11 values, users should work with TIRS Band 10 data as a single spectral band (like Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)) and should not attempt a split-window correction using both TIRS Bands 10 and 11.…”

“…Based on the existing study, even if the spatial resolution of the Landsat-8 TIRS (100 m) was only 100 m, it was resampled to 30 m in the delivered data product [33], and spectral mixing plus the heat diffusion of the built-up area blurred the boundary of the built-up area. Thus, a finer spatial resolution image of the vis-infrared built-up indices may help sharpen the boundary of the extracted built-up area from the NDSTI index, or by adopting a resolution merging method to enhance the overall spatial resolution [51][52][53][54][55].…”

“…Each had little noise from clouds and was downloaded from the United States Geological Survey website [32]. In terms of selecting the thermal infrared band, TIRS Band 10 was only used as the calibration parameters of the TIRS 11 thermal infrared band are still unstable and have noise interference [33]. Therefore, this study selected respective three-date Landsat-8 images of four areas that could reflect the distinctive thermal pattern characteristics of the target built-up area (Table 1).…”
