Acquisition of Terrain Information Using Landsat Multispectral Data. Report 1. Correction of Landsat Multispectral Data for Extrinsic Effects.

Abstract

This report provides an analytical capability for correcting the spectral data, as received by Landsat, to radiance values at ground level. Variations in the radiance values as influenced by atmospheric effects, terrain geometry, and shadows are coupled together to form a single equation that converts the radiance values of images obtained at different times to a common datum.
