Radiometric correction of topographic effects

A digital elevation model is required


- cosine correction:


Lh= Lt (cos sun angle/ cos of incidence between normal and sun)


Lh= radiance or brightness for horizontal surface


Lt= radiance over sloped surface


Cos sun angle can be determined by time of day

Geometric correction

Process of transforming image data so as to create an image oriented to map coordinates in a specific map projection

Sources of geometric are: aerial photography, push broom or whisk broom


Airborne: altitude variation, velocity variation (altitude: pitch, row, yaw)


Satellite: earth rotation, Earth curvature

Types of geometric errors

Systematic: removed at satellite ground stations


Nonsystematic: use polynomial equation

Radiometric enhancement

Adjusting histogram of a single band to stretch it from 0 to 255

Spatial enhancement

Neighbor pixels are used to revise 0 or 255 center pixel



New image will have bad values removed (smoothed)


Smooth filter- Blurs contrasting features


Edge filter- enhances contrasting features

Spectral enhancement (PCA)

-squeeze all information from 7 bands and two fewer bands


-bands tend to be correlated with each other


-redundant information compression, save useful information, and scrap the rest

Only works with high correlations between bands.


You want pixels set as far apart from each other as possible because it gives you more information (variance)


Vegetation indices

Pigment chlorophyl a and b


Chlorophyll a peak absorption at 0.43 and 0.66 nanometers


Chlorophyll b peak absorption at 0.45 and 0.65 nanometers


In the fall chlorophyll lowers


Spongy mesophyll scattering effect in 0.7 to 1.3 nanometers (infared)


Water and leaf absorbs at two dips (entire area 1.4 to 2.6 nanometers)



Simple ratio

SR= NIR/RED => first true vegetation index

Normalize difference vegetation index (NDVI)

NDVI = NIR - RED/NIR + RED


Estimating net primary production over varying biomes


Can range from 0,1 to -1,1


Most of the time greater than zero which is closer to 1 => more or dense vegetation


Healthy: red= 0.2 NIR= 0.7


Stressed: red= 0.3 NIR= 0.5

PRI, photochemical reflectance index

Ability of plant to do photosynthesis

KT transformation

"Tassled Cap"


Very useful for agriculture more than ndvi


Greeness as y axis, brightness as x


Tassled Cap shape

Texture transformations

Example urban areas have a different texture.


Spectral reflectance will be different based on road, grass or building etc


Image classification

Land cover-type of material present


Land use


Classification scheme


Level 1: forest, agriculture, urban


Level 2: conifer or broadleaf, corn or soybean, high density low density

Unsupervised classification

ISO data-interative self-organizing data


interpretive means repeating the same process getting more info each time with the best results of classification at the end

Supervised classification

-need training samples


-training data improve accuracy (go out to filled with GPS)


10n: n is number of bands


Example landsat 7: 70 samples per class (forest, agric, urban, etc)


Use PCA to reduce number of bands

First order polynomial

Geometric correction


U= Ao + A1x + A2y


V= Bo + B1x + B2y


x, y: image coordinates


3 ground control points needed to find out those variables


-the more the better, but means you have to travel to more GPS pts
