The PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa) hyperspectral satellite, launched by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) is presently operational on a global scale. The mission includes the hyperspectral imager PRISMA working in the 400-2500 nm spectral range with 234 bands and a panchromatic (PAN) camera (400-750 nm). In the context of this work, we intend to determine the two noise components (photon and thermal noise) and assess SNR with an image based approach. Results show that the SNR evaluation assessed through the collected images is coherent with the mission requirements and that the PRISMA noise components, derived on the fragmented Pignola test site, in Southern Italy, are comparable to the ones derived on the Rail Road Valley calibration site.

Abstract
The PRISMA (PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa) hyperspectral satellite, launched by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) is presently operational on a global scale. The mission includes the hyperspectral imager PRISMA working in the 400-2500 nm spectral range with 234 bands and a panchromatic (PAN) camera (400-750 nm). In the context of this work, we intend to determine the two noise components (photon and thermal noise) and assess SNR with an image based approach. Results show that the SNR evaluation assessed through the collected images is coherent with the mission requirements and that the PRISMA noise components, derived on the fragmented Pignola test site, in Southern Italy, are comparable to the ones derived on the Rail Road Valley calibration site.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
