Scientific paper

Pirnciples for use of the Moon and bright planets (Jupiter, Saturn) as natural calibration standards for space-camera spectroimages of the Earth's surface are validated. Basic premises of a lunar-calibration procedure for visible and infrared scanner images of the Earth are developed. It is proposed that photographs be calibrated using a data base of spectrophotometric brightness measurements made on specific areas of the Moon, with digital models of lunar-surface light scattering. Infrared and visible-light images of the Moon are automtically displayed on a PC monitor for calibration and normalization of results from natural Earth feature spectrophotometry.
