Differences and Similarities in the Processing of Airborne and Spaceborne Hyperspectral Data Shown on HySpex and EnMap Processing Chains

When working with hyperspectral data, it is very important, that the data is properly pre-processed in terms of systematic radiometric and spectral correction, geometric correction as well as atmospheric correction. Airborne and spaceborne sensors show some similarities regarding the processing, but also some differences. In this paper, these similarities and differences are discussed on the example of the HySpex processing chain in the generic processing environment Catena and the EnMAP processor that is currently developed at DLR. The paper presents the different sensors and their properties and gives an overview of the different workflows and the used algorithms.
