Leveraging years of multi-scale optical system geometric and radiometric calibration and characterization experience, the EROS Cal/Val Center of Excellence (ECCOE) is a global leader in improving the accuracy, precision, and quality of remote sensing data.
ECCOE Staff provide technical support to a number of USGS projects that are important in Earth Observation discovery and data characterization:
| ECCOE maintains primary responsibility for radiometric and geometric characterization and calibration of the Landsat instruments and spacecrafts. | The Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE) team assesses the quality and capabilities of newly launched commercial high-resolution satellites. | Requirements Capabilities & Analysis for Earth Observations (RCA-EO) works to understand user needs for Earth observation, measurement, and monitoring. |
