Optical satellite sensor generally suffers from drifts and biases relative to their prelaunch calibration, caused by launch and the space environment. Radiometric cross-calibration is valuable for calibrating sensors without coincident surface measurements through transferring radiometric values between satellite sensors via a stable target. The data quality of visible and near-infrared (VNIR) sensor onboard Gaofen-4 (GF-4) satellite seriously depends on vicarious calibration, which is performed once every year, thus, a cross-calibration approach is proposed for monitoring its radiometric performance much more frequently. In this study, the GF-4/VNIR is cross-calibrated by Landsat8/OLI, Sentinel-2/MSI, and Terra/MODIS with the aid of the tandem scenes during 2017 and 2018 after correcting the discrepancy on viewing geometries and spectrum. The results show that there is test site dependency and sensor dependency, and cross-calibration coefficients in the four bands roughly have similar variation trend as a sinusoidal function during 2017 and 2018, varying from 0.00023 to 0.00079. Furthermore, uncertainty analysis of the cross-calibration is carried out to analyze the uncertainty contributions affecting the cross-calibration accuracy. Note that the calibration accuracy of referenced sensors, the uncertainty of the MODTRAN model, BRDF uncertainty are the three main factors affecting the cross-calibration accuracy, the total uncertainty is approximately 3.9%-6.64%.
