In order to retrieve the surface target reflectance, ρs, Equation (1.10) is further expanded as:
(1.11) |
If we define
|
then Equation (1.11) eventually gives:
(1.12) |
Thus, knowing the apparent reflectance ρ*, the spherical albedo S, and the coefficients A and B, the surface target reflectance ρs can be obtained. Methods for obtaining these parameters are illustrated below.
The procedure to obtain estimates of the ground target reflectance involves three steps, as illustrated in Figure 1.10. The first step, converting the pixel
