Abstract
SPOT panchromatic imagery acquired by the High Resolution Visible (HRV) sensor exhibits horizontal striping. This system noise decreases the value of these otherwise excellent data for various applications. The stripes have a dominant periodicity of two lines with varying amplitude across the image. This technical note describes some results of efforts to suppress this effect. Median filtering blurs the image, while most of the stripes remain. Due to the spatial non-uniformity of the noise, global operators which are successful in destriping Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) imagery give unsatisfactory results for SPOT panchromatic data. However, the application of a similar technique for every line pair improves the image quality considerably. The results are demonstrated by statistical as well as pictorial data.
