DTE-S2GOS Observation Simulator

The S2GOS Observation Simulator produces physically-based synthetic observations for satellite, UAV, and ground-based Earth observation sensors. It is the simulation component of the DTE-S2GOS service.

What it does

Simulations are configured as a single SimulationConfig object and executed by a backend using the 3D radiative transfer model Eradiate. Given a scene (generated by the S2GOS Scene Generator) the simulator can produce:

  • Satellite imagery Emulating real instruments (Sentinel-2's MSI) or custom instruments
  • Ground-based measurements RGB, Radiancemeters, ...
  • Level 2 products HDRF, HCRF, FAPAR, ...

Spectral coverage spans 250-3100 nm, at resolutions of up to 0.1 nm
