The Sensor tool enables entering or importing the band settings of an optical sensor. This information is stored in the current MySQL database and can be called when aiming to run a radiative transfer model (RTM). Selecting a sensor in ARTMO’s main window makes then possible to simulate spectral outputs according to the sensor-specific band settings.

Graphics is a powerful tool for visualizing simulated spectra and performing sensitivity analysis. 

The Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) toolbox calculates a global sensitivity analysis on ARTMO’sRTMs. The GSA toolbox enables to identify key driving input variables as well non-influential input variables across the spectral range of spectral outputs.

ARTMO’s Emulator toolbox enables the evaluation of multi-output regression algorithms on their capability to approximate radiative transfer models (RTM)s. Successful models can function to ‘emulate’ RTMs.

The TOC2TOA tool enables to link top-of-canopy (TOC) reflectance with atmospheric transfer functions to upscale TOC reflectance towards top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance. This tool provides the link between ARTMO and ALG. 

The Spectral resample tool enables to spectrally resample either text data with spectral measurements or an image to the band settings of a Sensor.

The ‘Automated Scene Generator Module’ (A-SGM) toolbox enables – for a specific sensor – simulation of spectral scenes that are built of multiple vegetation classes, and generation of a time series of each vegetation class. 

BRDF Plot allows to plot a polar plot for a chosen RTM in order to inspect the BRDF behavior. 

The Image Format Conversion tool enables to convert EnMAP (.xml), PRISMA (.he5) or Sentinel-2 formats to ENVI. As such, these images can be further processed in the retrieval of classification toolboxes. 

LabelMe is a tool to vizualize an image and inspect the spectral profiles. Additionally spectra can be collected and when associated maps are loaded (e.g. biophysical variables) the spectra can be labeled. These data can be exported to a .txt file as a LUT.
