C. Ferencz et al., CORRECTION OF ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS OF SATELLITE REMOTE-SENSING DATA (LANDSAT MSS-NOAA AVHRR) FOR SURFACE CANOPY INVESTIGATIONS, International journal of remote sensing, 14(18), 1993, pp. 3417-3431
A new correction method for atmospheric effects in Landsat-MSS and NOA
A AVHRR data is presented which uses only the remotely-sensed multispe
ctral data. The method is based on a new quasi-single-variable radiati
ve transfer model, and as a first step we assumed that the surface is
covered by vegetation. For Landsat-MSS data the method was developed f
or the tasselled cap indices using known empirical relationships among
them. For NOAA AVHRR data 'tasselled cap-like' indices and the averag
e reflectance of the average canopy in the visible band known from Lan
dsat-MSS data were used. The method was used in yield forecasting proj
ect in north-eastern part of Hungary and provided a significant enhanc
ement in the quality of remotely sensed data.
