Atmospheric Correction of Airborne BRF to Yield Surface BRF: Nomenclature, Theory, and Methods

Pages 309-327 | Published online: 01 Aug 2014
 

RÉSUMÉ

Les auteurs ont passé en revue la nomenclature des méthodes de correction atmosphérique et les théories sous-jacentes pour des applications en télédétection aérospatiale et présentent une vue d'ensemble des méthodes de correction ayant été publiées. La perspective adoptée relie les concepts mis en jeu dans la détermination du paramètre inhérent de surface, à savoir le facteur de la réflectance bidirectionnelle (FRB), aux idées généralement répandues sur les mesures du FRB apparent, prises à partir de systèmes aéroportés, et la déduction des FRB apparents de la surface.

SUMMARY

A comprehensive review of atmospheric correction nomenclature and theory for airborne remote sensing applications is presented and put into context in terms of an overview of published correction methodologies. The perspective adopted connects concepts involved in determining the inherent surface parameter, the Bidirectional Reflectance Factor (BRF), to generalized ideas on apparent BRF measurements at airborne altitudes and their reduction to apparent surface BRF.
