Table 1. Threshold value and basis of automatic identification and gain classification

Threshold value	δ₁	δ₂	δ₃	δ₄	α
Value	0.06	0.09	1.5	0.03	0.002
δ basis	The minimum variation of eight preset gain levels (1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.43, 1.57, 1.7, and 1.87) is 0.076 and the maximum is 0.87.
α basis	The average variation of non-polluted SV values of 2.13 μm is 0.002 from October 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010.
