H. Fallahadl et al., FAST ALGORITHMS FOR REMOVING ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS FROM SATELLITE IMAGES, IEEE computational science & engineering, 3(2), 1996, pp. 66-77
Remote-sensing satellites collect vast amounts of earth data, but corr
ecting for the atmospheric effects that contaminate the imagery is com
putationally intensive. Using previous codes, high-accuracy atmospheri
c correction of a standard regional image area would have taken years
on a workstation. An improved algorithm takes 13 minutes. It also para
llelizes well.
