Sensor
After transformations performed by the optical components,
the Sensor
integrates the radiance onto the pixels. This is
accomplished using two point spread functions (PSF):
Spatial point spread function
Spectral point spread function
The spatial PSF integrates radiance as a function of angular distance from the pixel line of sight. For speed, this PSF is broken into a horizontal and vertical component to create a rectangular PSF with a field of view \(0.0056^\circ\times0.015^\circ\).
