Title: Edward E Hume, Jr: Innovator in Atmospheric Correction Technologies
Introduction
Edward E Hume, Jr. is a notable inventor based in Eldersburg, MD (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of atmospheric correction technologies, holding 2 patents that enhance the accuracy of data collection in various applications.
Latest Patents
Hume's latest patents include a "System and method for atmospheric correction of information." This innovative atmospheric correction system (ACS) addresses errors caused by in-homogeneities in the operational atmosphere along the slant path. The ACS constructs atmospheric profiles from data along the actual target to sensor slant-range path, generating a slant-range path that models the sensor to target relationship while considering atmospheric conditions and obstructions. Additionally, the ACS utilizes assimilation to incorporate weather data from multiple sources, allowing for increased accuracy in atmospheric compensation values.
Another significant patent is the "Radiance library forecasting for time-critical hyperspectral target detection systems." This method inputs atmospheric forecast information from a database based on real-time atmospheric measurements. The hyperspectral detection processing unit uses selected reflectance libraries and sensor parameters to produce mission radiance libraries during the planning phase. During mission execution, the sensor collects hyperspectral data, which is then compared to the mission radiance library to identify features and targets.
