Abstract

For most remote sense image applications, variations in solar illumination conditions, atmospheric scattering and absorption, and detector performance need to be normalized, especially in time series analysis such as change detection. For the purpose of radiometric correction, two levels of radiometric correction, absolute and relative, have been developed for remote sense imagery. In this paper, we select the Fast Line-of-sight Atmospheric Analysis of Spectral Hypercubes (FLAASH) algorithm as the Atmospheric correction method, and compare it with an automatic method for relative radiometric normalization based on a linear scale invariance of the multivariate alteration detection (MAD) transformation. The performances of both methods are compared using a landsat TM image pairs, the results from the two techniques have been compared both visually and using a measure of the fit based on standard error statistic.
